I have an issue with icons with transparent backgrounds. The backgrounds show black instead of transparent "see attachment". This seems to happen when connecting to remote hosts (via XDMCP). The transparency looks fine however when the client is local to the server and even (I think) when the client is accessed through ssh X11 forwarding.
I did a little bit of deduction and discovered that the issue is not present if i downgrade to xf86-video- intel-2. 13.0.
So far I've tried this when the remote machine is Gentoo (xfce) and Ubuntu (gnome).
