[Fluxbox-users] is feh enough for transparency?

[oleksandr k. <at...@gm...>]

hello,

I just upgraded my system to fc6 (fresh install) and I can not get the 
pseudo transparency in menu and decoration elements.

reading the fluxbox wiki (http://fluxbox-wiki.org/) it seems to be that 
having installed feh, esetroot or wmsetbg should be enough to be able to 
change the "alpha" parameter. I got feh version 1.3.4 installed, and 
fbsetbg says:
[~]$ fbsetbg -i

feh is a nice wallpapersetter. You won't have any problems.

but the transparency is not working. I'm using my old fluxbox init file 
and alpha parameter is set from 0 to 160 for various decoration 
elements, but none of those is transparent.

I didn't try the other two applications because I am sure that feh use 
to work for me before the upgrade.

Am I missing something?

just for case, here is fluxbox -info
