gnome-terminal transparency switches off during desktop change
Submitted by ada..@..st.gov
Description
Package: gnome-core Version: 1.0.5 Severity: extremely small
When switching desktops in E, transparent gnome-terminal windows spontaneously switch to solid background color. Opening Settings | Preferences | Image reveals that the Background type has changed from "Transparent" to "None", so restoring transparency is simply a matter of switching it back. I just saw something new though: had to switch back to "Transparent" about five times before it did anything; each time I opened preferences, Background type showed "None". (Got me frustrated enough to send this bug report.)
Built with egcs-1.1.2, running in enlightenment-0.15.5, on RedHat 5.1 AXP with Linux 2.2.5 (164LX).

If you are using it from CVS, have the recent versions fixed this?
Do you actually have a background on all desktops? If it can't find a background then it will jump back to no background.

This problem is due to the "unique" way that E handles multiple desktops.
