I would only keep the RC so we could easily ask for users to test, but until it proves to be useful, this UI looks rather distracting. Given that another transparent WMs can deal with this situation isn't it also reasonable to ask affected users to file the bug against their niche WM? (I have access to KDE machine but when I started to look how to get the Kvantum thing working I quickly backtracked. I really don't think this will affect large mass of users, just because you can't just click somewhere in preferences and have it on your machine.)

So we don't have any KDE user here? It turns out the situation is a bit more complicated, but still easy to reproduce (it involves using Kvantum, actually). I considered installing a KDE image, but then realized I would have to install the build depencies and all, and I gave up :) All the details are here: https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/12119#comment:20 Any taker?

I don't have KDE but I have X11 WM with transparent theme, what exactly should I do? Pavel Normally, if the theme is transparent, the workarea should blink. However, looking at the latest information on the bug report https://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/12119 it seems that the issue may be limited to the window manager Sway. If this is the case, I'd propose to remove the GUI for the lyxrc entry and just leave the variable for manual tweaking. Or I could change the tooltip to say: "select this if the display blinks. Note that performance may suffer and that subpixel aliasing will be disabled." But I would not want people to select this when they do not need to.
