I tested with Compiz and Metacity compositing. Both of those worked. So
assuming that Transparent KDE uses the same compositing extensions, it
should be working.

I can't speak to VMWare Player. That may require a different set of 3D
extensions or a particular version of OpenGL support.

It really should be noted that Intel is not the ideal source for 3D
graphics. Intel's graphics chipsets, while solid, tend to be extremely
low-performance in the 3D department when compared to nVidia and AMD
products.

Of course, on the flip side, Intel actually aids in the development of
the free open-source drivers, while nVidia and AMD primarily offer
closed-source-only solutions, leaving the community to guess at the
open-source implementations.
