guake true transparancy

Asked by Guria

After I've just installed Maverick on NB Asus K40AF with Radeon HD 4500 guake terminal transparancy was true: I was able to see windows with it's content under it, not just a desktop background. But I can't reach this behaivior again after I've tried to setup fglrx with jockey and uninstalling it back. What have lead to fake transparancy and how to bring true one back?

actionparsnip : Seems that this bug doesn't related to my issue. I've booted from LiveCD and installed Guake in it. Everything works fine: I've true transparency on all tabs. In fact I think that my issue doesn't related to guake itself but it somewhere in video drivers.
Luis F. Lopez: Hmm, maybe. I'll check it now, thanks.

Wow, magic. After reboot from LiveCD true transparency bringed back. I've checked twice (reboot) and guake transparent right after login, but I'm sure that my issue was definitly related to one's that linked Luis F. Lopez.
