This is strange.... when I start X through SLIM I loose the opacity(transparent look) on my urxvt windows. It's only when I start X through SLIM. If I start X with xinit directly, without SLIM, then my urxvt windows correctly have the opacity as they should.

Are you starting the same window manager in both cases?

Yes, there way...with Slim or just xinit....is started with xinitrc file:

compiz --replace ccp&
xterm

There are no issues with compiz ether way...only the transparency with urxvt.

The transparency with urxvt is set in .Xdefaults wtih:

urxvt*borderColor: rgba:0000/0000/0000/dddd
URxvt*background: rgba:0000/0000/0000/dddd

Try `xrdb -merge .Xdefaults` in the non-working one? Usually the xsession file does that for you.

Thanks....didn't work. I did try manually running a shell with 'urxvt +tr' and that placed the transparency back.
