Bug Description

1)
Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10

2)
gnome-terminal:
  Installed: 3.0.1-0ubuntu3
  Candidate: 3.0.1-0ubuntu3
  Version table:
 *** 3.0.1-0ubuntu3 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3)
When I choose a terminal background image, I expect to have the background image shown without transparency.

4)
Transparency is applied to the chosen background image. No way to make the background opaque. When the shade is set to none, the terminal becomes completely transparent. When set to maximum, the background becomes black. I expect this behavior on transparent mode but not when a background image is chosen.

Are you sure you have "Shade transparent or image background" set to "None"? This setting applies to image background be design

Could you please try running this without compiz (e.g. in gnome-shell or gnome fallback session)?

Hi,
this is what have i done to this problem.

via terminal:
1 - remove unity
2 - reinstall unity but seems there has been some issues with dependencies. so i remove all the dependencies. ubuntu ask me to install gnome-shell so i install gnome-shell.
3 - then reinstall unity - it download all the package/dependencies needed to install unity.
4 - after that i don't have any more problems with this transparency settings.

I am not a person that can read any programming language so that i can understand or try to find what make thing goes wrong. But i posted this with hope that this might help some developpers to narrow down their search on what exactly make this problem occur. therefore i am sorry if my comment are not useful. I am just an end user anyway, but interested to help. And so far it seems this problem are affecting only me ad Fairuz only since nobody else report that they are having the same problems.

This happened when I installed the ATI fglrx driver, so I guess it's related to his driver.

That version has reached EOL since a while, so it will not receive update. If that issue still exist, report again using ubuntu-bug.
