I'm running Plasma5 from the kde-unstable repo and am loving it. However, I have an issue wherein I've lost transparency in Konsole on any version past 16.04.3-1. If I downgrade Konsole to 16.04.3-1 I'm able to have transparency without issue.
If I run any Konsole post that version I get the message "Konsole was started before desktop effects were enabled. You need to restart Konsole to see transparent background." in the Appearance tab. I've restarted Konsole and the laptop to no avail. I've tried changing the Compositor rendering backend from OpenGL 3.1, to OpenGL 2.0, to XRender also with no effect.
I've listed some of my info below - any thoughts or direction to address would be appreciated.

I'm having the same problem since the update to 16.08 version. I'm not sure if there is an open defect / fix for this yet.

Got the same problem after upgrade to 16.08.0. I opened a bug report in KDE bug tracker:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367993
BTW from today's signoff report form arch-devel I see that konsole 16.08.0-1 in testing has already got 2 signoffs. I wonder how that could happen since the breakage is evident (maybe the testers didn't care about transparency?).
Edit: the bug has been fixed, and the fix will be included in 16.08.1.

Great news, thanks for the leg work as well as the update.

I can confirm that transparency is back as of Konsole 16.08.0-2.
