It is stupid to have the apps set opacity, that is Compiz' job. If you
put the settings in the apps the user has to control them per-app. If
you let the compositing manager handle opacity then all the settings are
in one place.

It's not a feature, it's an intentional bug, and it's done the WRONG
way. I would go so far as to say it's done the anti-Unix way, which is
to have small tools that work well and don't have too many features.
This is definitely a feature that doesn't belong in the tool since the
typical desktop already has a mechanism for managing this.

BUG.
