Amen brother. I don't use transparent paper either.
As far as I can see the purpose of the transparent terminals seems to be
mostly a vehicle for the series of boringly similar screenshots you'll
find that feature one terminal, a mp3 player, and a huge "cool" desktop
background (aka "theme") that is the entire focus of the screenshot, and
to which all running programs must be subservient. Amusingly, I've seen
one of those screenshots featured as the Apple inside cover ad on
several magazines now[1]..
