8 I haven't dabbled in xorg transparency myself, so take the following
9 with a grain of salt.

11 A bit of googling turned up "Xorg X11 and Transparency" at
12 gentoo-wiki.com:
13 http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Xorg_X11_and_Transparency
14
15 The document at the above URL suggests that the xorg "Composite" extension needs to be enabled. The xorg.conf available from http://makovey.objectis.net/Members/dimon/issues/xorg.conf looks like it has the composite extension disabled:
16
17 Section "Extensions"
18 Option "Composite" "off"
19 EndSection
20
21 Maybe it would good to start with enabling the composite extension in
22 your X server and recompiling the kde packages with the "xcomposite" USE
23 flag.
