FYI, I do not like the user-controlled window opacity feature. It<br>
currently cannot work right with sub-surfaces, and the black surface<br>
case is equivalent to a sub-surface. We would need an intermediate<br>
composite of the compound window to be able to apply window opacity<br>
properly as a second step. I feel that implementing that costs too much<br>
in work, runtime, and maintenance at the moment.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>In fact it fails even in this case with the black background.
