As Colin and some others mentioned, it merely copies the background. *However*, g-t copies the _gnome_ background, not what is in the root window. Try it out for yourself : 1) specify some background using gnomecc 2) run 'xearth' or some other program to paint over the root window 3) run gnome-terminal with transparency enabled You will now see, inside gnome-terminal, the _gnome_ specified background, rather than the background that is actually visible. -D -- "640K ought to be enough for anybody" -Bill Gates, 1981 http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/
