The act of doing this made the window translucent and revealed the content of the window beneath it. This was a significant privacy violation, and could have had damaging consequences.

  I agree with martin, it's up to the user to prepare for a presentation and I think the privacy argument in this case is very weak.
  
  What I do not like about the translucency effect is, that the background is not blurred. In my opinion, all semi transparent surfaces in breeze should be blurred. And the blurred background would solve the privacy problem too.
