RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
With a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU or a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU I have an issue with icons with transparent backgrounds. The backgrounds show black instead of transparent.

I searched on the web and found a patch for debian based systems. I was able to create a patch for RHEL 6 based on the debian patch. For an example see:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/84357739/xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.15.901-1ubuntu2.1.debdiff
Here is another screenshot with the patch applied after a reboot:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.16.0-1
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get machine that uses i965 such as a recent laptop with hybrid graphics with an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU/integrated GPU.
2. ssh -X to another red hat machine.
3. Run gtk GUI app back to your display. (I used virt-manager in my example)
Actual results:
Icons in apps should have transparent backgrounds.
Expected results:
notice how transparent backgrounds are not transparent but are instead black.
Additional info:

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development. This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
Hello.
Still having trouble with transparency with some icons when sshing to a remote computer.
I have xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.16.0-4.el6.x86_64 installed.
Sorry for delay in getting back to you about this.
Gary
this seems to be older than what we have in 6.4 candidate, since the newest is xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.20.8-1.el6 and only this one should contain the patch (Adam correct me if I'm wrong).
Do you have an access to latest rhel6.4 composes? If not Adam can we provide test package?
I don't think we have access to that because I asked Daniel to look for the package for me in our customer portal today and he could not find version 2.20. (Daniel is one of our employees who has access to https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/channels/Beta.do )
Sorry about that. If you can make it available some other way I can test it though. Cheers.
