Not sure how you could have gotten a "later branch" than 3.5.10, unless you included distro-specific patches that have not yet made their way into TDE. If so, I'd like to merge them into TDE.
A fact is that the version from which Trinity was branched is different from that of ours. It is evident from the differences in the dialog and the Plastik theme.
Simple fact is, the official KDE 3.5.10 sources have broken shadows when the compositor is turned off. That was the main reason for the commit, which I did in fact test and it did make the shadows work better on my test systems compared to the stock KDE 3.5.10 sources.
At this point reverting the patch would reintroduce those problems, unless I can then turn around and apply whatever changes were made to the version that works properly for you....
As I said, a bug report is needed! :-)
You can create it yourself if you wish.
