--- Comment #55 from jwoithe <[email protected]> ---
I can confirm that the "Minimal ODT test case to illustrate this bug (LO 4.0.0
PDF export)" (PDF file attachment 75026) renders correctly under Slackware
13.37 when running xpdf 3.03.  If xpdf 3.02 is used the rectangle renders as
greyscale, as before.  Given this observation and those in comment 51 and
comment 53, it seems to me that a couple of things have happened which make
this ticket less severe now.  Firstly, some change to the LO PDF output
occurred in LO 4.1.x which appears to have made CUPS capable of rendering the
transparent objects.  Secondly, unlike xpdf 3.02, xpdf 3.03 can now correctly
render colour transparency in files produced by LO.

In light of these observations I am not sure that it is worth pursuing the
underlying cause of the difficulties identified in this ticket.  On the one
hand the amount of software adversely affected by the issue is shrinking. 
However, there is always an outside chance that the problems seen by xpdf <=
3.02 and other software referenced in this ticket are indicative of an issue in
LO's PDF output which happens by chance to still render correctly in some
viewers but should still be identified and addressed lest they create further
problems in the future.
