Comment 3 for bug 1006325

I'm actually using compiz (as my primary window manager) at the moment and the issue persists after both compiz --replace, gala --replace (i.e. under gala) and upon reboot. I don't think it's an issue with the compositor (not at my end at least) as compiz is able to apply transparency to slingshot (see screenshot).

P.S. I swear that there were other replies to this bug previously (including one specifically pointing out that transparency was applied to slingshot in the attached screenshot). Hmm...
