Comment 4 for bug 729970

The new 2.3.0 version with the opengl backend did not bother kdenlive in the least!
I just installed it after the day's normal updates(which included changes in Compiz), edited the launcher in ~/.config/autostart to specify -o , killed X to reload everything else, and tested the new version. Just to be sure, I even killed cairo-dock and fired it back up from gmrun, specifying the -o option. More icon effects run in opengl, confirming their presence.

I am running it now, just tested kdenlive, launching if from the icon in cairo-dock, dropping in a video file and playing it, no transparency problems anymore. Whatever code caused the problem in older versions should be published so other opengl developers know what NOT to do if possible.
Meanwhile, goodbye Docky, and goodbye Mono!
