Now vte has support for real transparency (not semi-transparency). On http://xfce-diary.blogspot.com/2006/03/transparent-terminal-hack.html, you posted a patch (http://foo-projects.org/~benny/tmp/transparent-hack-Terminal.patch) which requires a VTE patch.

I implemented transparency with the new VTE functionality on top of your patch. My patch is attached. Maybe it's worth for applying it.

Reproducible: Always

	* NEWS, configure.in.in, terminal/terminal-app.c,
	  terminal/terminal-screen.c: Add support for real transparency with
	  GTK+ 2.10 and a compositing manager. Bug #2671.

Comment 3 Pete 2007-01-31 22:33:20 CET
This transparency is XFCE dependent which means that this will only work if you are using xfwm4, example running xcompmgr under openbox/blackbox/fluxbox etc wont give you real transparency *HENCE* This is XFCE dependent
Comment 4 Benedikt Meurer editbugs 2007-02-01 07:57:39 CET
Ah, well, if open/black/fluxbox don't work properly, then it's a bug in the application? Doesn't make much sense, right? Just use a working window manager or file a feature request to *box, but don't add such stupid comments here.

Bug #2671
