I have not yet been too much around KDE 4.2, so I don't know about a 
command line way to set transparancy.

dcop is still there for KDE3 applications although probably only on 
the command line now.

On the command line you run "dcop".

It will only work if there is a KDE3 dcop based application running, 
like k3b.

KDE4 applications I think are all using dbus.

I am not aware of any "kdbus" gui application.

dbus works fine on the command line though, just like dcop.

You run "qdbus" on the command line.

Best regards :o)
