Last I heard, transparent backgrounds were not possible (but this may or
may not be true now, as I'm using X less and less...) But RxVT, which is an
X-Term like program, will let you use a pixmap as a background image. Great
way to make a totally unreadable X-Term <grin>.
There are some AfterStep screenshots I have seen where a guy uses the same
pixmap as his background and RxVT background, which results in an effect
similar to a transparent X-Term. I suspect that's as close as you'll get.
