Indeed, and konsole's support for transparency is better (at
least easier to configure) than gnome-terminal's. In
particular, I like to use a transparent background, but I
like it to be muted nearly white, regardless of the color of
the desktop background image.
gnome-terminal allows the transparent background easily to
be shaded, but only toward black. Perhaps there is a way to
hack a config file with vi in order to get gnome-terminal to
do what I want. But konsole let's me get the right behavior
from the standard control interface.
