Does your window manager support compositions?

Hello,

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. But you could set widget attribute to
WA_NoSystemBackground like this:

dialog->setAttribute(Qt::WA_NoSystemBackground);

In that way you'll see through the dialog and to the main window in the background.

Desktop compositions are supported on X11( extensions need to be enabled ), OS X by default, and Vista only when enabling Aero.

Since you're using Linux, make sure you have enabled the composition in X11.
In xorg.conf add:

Code:

---

Section "Extensions"
    Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

---
