Bug Description

1. i set transparency for the terminal with compiz enabled but when i turn off com-positing (compiz) transparency goes to a black color as u can see in the screen shot

2. i expected that it (terminal) disable its transparency at the moment, so i could get the white background in the terminal as it is when transparency is disable.

3. if u need some extra info, please just ask, i am working with jaunty jackalope amd64 kernel linux 2.6.28-11-generic

thanks for the report manzur, do you get the same with terminator (the terminal emulator) that's maybe a vte issue rather than a gnome-terminal one.
