Yes, it's likely a config problems. Removing my ~/.kde4 prevents the crash.

Hi Alessio! As I stated, I removed my ~/.kde4 and everything now seems
normal. Probably in a clean environment your transparency will come
back... at least, I hope so!

Hi Bjoern. I posted a mail with attached my .xsession-errors, but I
guess my mail has to be approved yet (the attachment made the message
body > 40 Kb, which means that I need moderator approval)...

The errors that seem connected to the crash are:

plasma-desktop(968): ""geometry" - conversion of "62,0,0,0" to QRectF failed"
plasma-desktop(968): ""geometry" - conversion of "62,0,0,0" to QRectF failed"

However, I don't know how to interpret these. It seems a problem in resizing...

I'll give it a try, thanks :)

Thanks to everyone for the reply.
