Description Jiří Procházka 2011-04-29 14:28:27 UTC
After an upgrade, apps cannot get background pixmap, which is used  to make a low-cost fake transparency effects (not using compositor).
I am using tint2 and roxterm, which now aren't able to do it.
Following is a list of updated packages which I consider might be responsible for the regression, apologies if I categorized & filled out the bug report in some bad way.
Best,
Jiri
