Strange transparency bug. OpenSuSE LXDE. Need help
So I have installed LXDE on my SuSE install to have a addition to the GNOME desktop. The installation went fine (of course). But I'm now faced with a problem with the transparency in LXDE, I have a box around my cairo-dock with a piece of my login screen background (looks like the well-known black-box bug. See Screen shot). This is a bit strange and I've been looking at the solutions for the black-box bug since I've had it before, but have not found a way to sort this yetv(though i have found many solutions for the black-box bug itself).
But, not only is this box around cairo-dock, the rest of the transparency in LXDE also shows the login screen background. See screen shot.

As you can see, i haven't had time to work on the eye-candy yet.

You do know that LXDE is a light weight desktop without all the bells and whistles of gnome or KDE?? Right? I'm surprised that Cairo-dock runs at all.

Ok, I finally figured it out.
By setting the wallpaper in Feh with this command instead of the usual way i have now solved my problem:
And by the way, now that I have fixed the transparency "bug" Cairo-dock works smoothly in LXDE.Code:feh --bg-scale /home/user/Pictures/wallpaper.jpg
