Karamba relies on the krootpixmap class in kdelibs/kdecore, which relies on kdesktop. So.. you need to either make it get the bg from elsewhere, or run kdesktop.

This just makes me fall in love with KDE all over again. So simple, so easy, so powerful.

/**
* Creates pseudo-transparent widgets.
*
* A pseudo-transparent widget is a widget with its background pixmap set to
* that part of the desktop background that it is currently obscuring. This
* gives a transparency effect.
*
* To create a transparent widget, construct a KRootPixmap and pass it a
* pointer to your widget. That's it! Moving, resizing and background changes
* are handled automatically.
*
* Instead of using the default behaviour, you can ask KRootPixmap
* to emit a @ref backgroundUpdated(const QPixmap &) signal whenever
* the background needs updating by using @ref setCustomPainting(bool).
* Alternatively by reimplementing @ref updateBackground(KSharedPixmap*)
* you can take complete control of the behaviour.

I was not trolling sorry, I was / am not aware of the working of KDE I had no Idea that it was kwin that was causeing the app to show black instead of my background.

I love the application, but am set in using GTK for now.

Thanks for the info guys!

You don't understand, KWin isn't causing anything. You can keep running your GTK apps in KDE.

anon: you don't seem to grasp his question.
vito: it *should* work under gnome, I've seen it work under Waimea, so presumably it should work under gnome, assuming the proper libraries are installed. I'm obviously not knowledgebase on kde, but this karamba is one cool piece of software. Still wouldn't make me switch to kde tho (I use Waimea just so you know anon)

Has same problem as Vito's under Waimea. Using ESetRoot for the background. Otherwise works fine
