volume popup composite use requires to restart gnome-settings-daemon

Thank you for your bug. Do you use GNOME? Do you use some composite manager like compiz?

I'm using Gnome with Beryl. If I close beryl, the transparent window
become not transparent. But when I start beryl, the window is the same
than with Edgy. I don't understand but you may right, Beryl seems too
add the second screen. (But it seems to work bad).

What do you call "randomly", does it change when you use the key several time or it's having one look or the other in a consistant way? The transparent window is a gnome-control-center feature used when a composite manager is running. Maybe there is problem with the function doing that choice. Does it happen if you use compiz?

Yes it happens when I use Beryl, but not all the time. But if I have
one, she stay until next reboot.

Could you try with compiz if you get that problem?

 Instead of Beryl ?
I have explored and I think that transparent window is when i don't use
it before starting beryl, but just after. If I use the window (up or
down the volume) before starting beryl, she stay.
 Maybe not a "bug".

Can you use beryl and compiz at the same time? If not could you try to run compiz and not beryl and note if the same thing is happening? Your explanations are not clear. The transparent window is used when a composite manager is running

 Yes I'm sorry, I'm so bad with english. I think you're rignt. That's
not a bug. The transparent window is used after beryl start, not before.
But I report because if I close beryl the transparent window is still
used or if I use the sound manager before beryl start, after starting
beryl it stay normal (not transparent).But I think that's not important.
And sorry for my english....

Confirmed, the composite manager change requires a gnome-settings-daemon restart, I've opened a bug upstream about that: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=408035
