I don't know about the other terms, but gnome-terminal's
"transparency" is really amusing. As Colin and some others mentioned,
it merely copies the background. *However*, g-t copies the _gnome_
background, not what is in the root window.
Try it out for yourself :
1) specify some background using gnomecc
2) run 'xearth' or some other program to paint over the root window
3) run gnome-terminal with transparency enabled
You will now see, inside gnome-terminal, the _gnome_ specified
background, rather than the background that is actually visible.
