Transparency come and go

[Robert Dinse]

Prior to upgrading to 22.04 everything worked as expected, after upgrading my panels are no longer transparent. The mate-tweak settings are not properly applied during login or reboot. If I after
reboot set my panels transparent again, sometimes it will let me, sometimes it won't. If it lets
me, the next time I logout and login again they are no longer transparent. I am not using Wayland, I use the Xorg Intel kernel server, this because I have Intel graphics and use virtualized GPU on a virtual machine, this does not work with Wayland and for that matter neither does Synaptic. Really
I wish Wayland and Systemd and a bunch of the other modern atrocities that have transformed Ubuntu from a good reliable OS into an unstable difficult OS would just die.
