gnome-terminal and transparency
Submitted by ben..@..eld.de
Description
Package: gnome-core Version: 1.0.54
Hello,
I have posted my problem to the mailing-list but none could help me out, so I think it's worth a bug report:
I have experienced a small problem with gnome- terminal. What I've done is simply to set the background of my gnome-terminal to be transparent. After logout/login the background of this terminal is back to it's original non-transparent state.
I've checked this corresponding gnome-terminal-* config file in ~/.gnome and the settings say transparent=yes, but somehow gnome-terminal does not appear to restore this setting upon startup.
Oh yes, and I really have a background image defined!
I have gnome happily running on SPARC/Solaris 7 with sawmill 0.16 as WM. If you need more detailed information just let me know!
Thank you very much!
Ben

Hello,
This is what has come into my mind yesterday evening: There might be a timing problem. Maybe gnome-terminal cannot find a background image upon startup because it is displayed some milliseconds too late and therefore the terminal falls back to non-transparent state...just some thoughts maybe they give you some inspiration.
Best regards,
Ben
