-<question>
-<para>Does &tde; support transparency and other visual effects provided by the new composite extension to X.org?</para>
-</question>
-<answer>
-<para>Yes. &tde; supports for the X composite extension and provides its own compositor. This allows for effects such as translucency and drop shadows for all windows, easily configurable through &twin;'s configuration dialog. For those using an xorg.conf file, be sure the following is included:
-
-<screen>
-Section "Extensions"
-Option "Composite" "Enable"
-EndSection
-</screen>
-
-<!-- This option is enabled by default -->
-<!--Those users with an Nvidia graphics card and driver can improve the performance of these effects by adding the RenderAccel option to the Device section for the graphics card:
-
-<screen>
-Section "Device"
- Identifier "nvidia-fx5200"
- Driver "nvidia"
- Option "RenderAccel" "true"
-</screen>-->
-After correctly configuring xorg.conf, transparency and other effects can be enabled through the <menuchoice><guimenu>Desktop</guimenu><guimenuitem>Window Behavior</guimenuitem></menuchoice> &kcontrolcenter; module, under the <guilabel>Translucency</guilabel> tab.

-<question>
-<para>What about &tde; programs that do not have icons? How do I get
-them into the menu?</para>
-</question>

-<question>
-<para>Does &tde; have a graphical &FTP; client?</para>
-</question>
-<answer>

-<qandaentry>
-<question>
-<para>How do I exit &tde;?</para>
-</question>
-<answer>
-<para>On the panel (kicker) use the &LMB; to select the <guibutton>T</guibutton>
-button and select <guimenu>Log Out...</guimenu>. Another method is to use the &RMB;
-to select an empty area of the desktop, which opens a popup menu,
-containing <guimenu>Log Out...</guimenu> as one of the options.
-Another option is to use a keyboard shortcut, which on many systems is
-<keycombo action="simul">&Ctrl;&Alt;<keycap>Delete</keycap></keycombo>.
-A fourth option is to add the <application>Lock/Logout</application> button applet.
-<note><para>Depending on your configuration of the &X-Window;, <keycombo
-action="simul">&Ctrl;&Alt;&Backspace;</keycombo>
-might also exit &tde; by killing the X server, but using that shortcut prevents
-session management and is recommended only for emergencies.</para></note></para>

-<question>
-<para>Is it really necessary to update to the latest version?</para>
-</question>

-a release version. Otherwise, getting answers to questions might be challenging.
-Each release always contains bug fixes and enhancements. Often a problem with an old version
-has been fixed in a more recent release. Newer versions also fix security problems. Only seldom are bug and security fixes backported to older releases.</para>
