KWin running, no running compositor detected

… EWMH compliant compositor …
Here, with KWin (with KDE Plasma):
% ./activate-bsd -t "Activate FreeBSD" -m "90 days remaining"
No running compositor detected. Program may not work as intended.
^C
% uname -aKU
FreeBSD mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd 14.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT #12 main-n255769-f16e38162c7-dirty: Tue May 24 11:48:57 BST 2022 root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC-NODEBUG amd64 1400059 1400059

Please, is this an issue with detection on FreeBSD?
Or, am I truly without a compliant compositor, and if so (apologies for the noise) how can I tell?

https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/uyscch/-/iaavjnv/?context=1 someone provided a screenshot to prove that transparency can be effective with KWin on FreeBSD in a VirtualBox guest.
So, presumably, not a problem with activate-linux.
I'll close this issue, and try to figure out why I'm without transparency on real hardware …
