From QWidget::setWindowOpacity() docs:

This feature is available on Mac OS X, X11 platforms that support the Composite extension, and Windows 2000 and later.

Note that under X11 you need to have a composite manager running, and the X11 specific _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY atom needs to be supported by the window manager you are using.

Try setOpacity()
