How?  That is the topic of this thread that I started.  How do I turn
on unfocused windows being transparent?  It used to work, I can't find
the knob on the compositor that I hit before that turned it on.  The
thread got side tracked into colour classes, but THAT did not work,
and is not the "knob on the compositor config dialog" that worked
before.  The colour class thingy apparently only works if I use some
other theme than the default E17 theme.

So I ask again, how do I turn it on?  "It" being that unfocused windows
are partially transparent.  I'll qualify that with "and works with the
default theme".
