But where does this compton-tde hide? Can it be removed or disabled completely? It seems to slow down my system, because that's the only difference I notice when I kill it. It may be that I don't actually use anything for which I need it, but somehow compton-tde just started appearing out of nowhere, and now always runs near the top of top until I kill the process. Then it never returns, and I never miss it.
I don't want to remove it completely, if it actually does something that I might need; but I can at least disable it.
You mentioned using kcontrol to change features such as transparency and dropshadows. Running kcontrol turns out to be the Trinity Control Center, and I already know that place. But when I look at windows, fonts, etc., I already have everything stripped down almost to pre-KDE3 levels.
Trinity Control Center -> Desktop -> Windows Behavior -> Translucency disable checkbox at the top
