D'oh! I forgot about wterm; I have never used gnome-terminal; and I left out
rxvt because it is transparent only if you leave it in one spot, last I
checked. wterm, aterm, and Eterm all do it on their own, and I imagine
gnome-terminal does also, but just as heavy as Eterm does it.
But, there was some reason why I didn't like wterm as much as aterm. I
forget it now, of course. :)
I stand corrected. :)
Thanks
