It seems that this has already been answered, but the KDE bug contains some 
more of the detail. It looks like KDE 3.5/4 is the target for getting proper 
visibility support. We haven't taken this decision lightly, and I believe it 
is the best option we have for a stable desktop.

KDE/QT 4 should have much improved visibility support, and I will be testing 
them once it is workable and I have a little spare time
