Listmates, Here is one for the experts. I installed virtual box on my Arch laptop, and upon starting my XP guest machine, I discover that the VB window is almost completely transparent?? This is really strange and I can't explain what is happening, so a picture (screenshot) is worth a 1000 words: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshots/archlinux/vb-transparent2.jp... [139k] As you can see, the Virtualbox window background is almost 100% transparent as well as some parts of the applications running in it. This can make it quite challenging to get things done. I am using the radeonhd driver. I tried it with compiz running and then again with kwin. It made no difference. Other than virtualbox being transparent, everything else was OK. Any ideas on this one?? cc: radeonhd list -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
