Since noone seems to know, I'll answer myself. With Gnome-session I can
set Eterm -blabla to restart automatically. If I log out and it
automatically restarts, it works as supposed.
Now I have ~/start_eterm.sh as a startup program, and I have a sleep 5
&& Eterm -blabla there. It works, but it's not the right way. I guess it
have something to do with Nautilus managing the background, and if the
Eterm starts before Nautilus, it won't get transparent.. At least so it
seems...
