Version: (using KDE 4.0.98) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux It seems, http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135885 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99807 are still there in 4.1 RC1 even if they are said to be resolved... opacity presets in Special Window Settings just do nothing, while direct opacity via the right click menu on window borders works as expected. BTW, I've got an ATI Mobility Radeon 9700, using the free radeon driver.
I can confirm this bug, using kde svn trunk r 837777, using special window opacity settings doesnt work (other settings like force desktop do) - while setting it with the opacity menu works. My system is gentoo, amd64, gcc 4.3 using a radeon hd3850 with the fglrx driver (8.7).

I can confirm this bug too, I want to set these options for a conky window. "Skip pager" doesn't work also, but the following settings works fine: "Keep below", "No border", "Skip taskbar".

I too can confirm this bug, and I'm on 4.2 :-( It works when manually setting the opacity, but under special.. no luck :-(

I just want to point out, that this feature is just not implemented. Only the settings are there.
If the feature is not implemented, this is a feature wish I guess. If that is the case it looks similar to http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168950
How is the progress on this? I would have thought that implementing this wouldn't be so hard since the manual options work.
Hmmm, I reported this at the KDE community forums http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=62518 and was advised to file a bug report. Now I see that this has been known for quite some time now with no resolution.
