I'm still seeing this bug.
Steps to reproduce:
1. using xterm, remove ~/.kde/share/config/yakuakerc and
~/.kde/share/config/konsolerc
2. start konsole
3. set the background to paper and save that as standard
4. start yakuake
5. set the yakuake background first to konsole standard, then to paper
tested on several machine and confirmed by several people that it works
it you use konsole default's profile in yakuake
** Changed in: yakuake (Ubuntu)
Status: Unconfirmed = Rejected
--
Yakuake cannot have a background image although Konsole can
