Comment 4 for bug 1375054

I have discovered the small PITA that terminal background transparency (even within a window) only works on a composited desktop. That's a little annoying. I'm not sure how many people are on non-composited desktops, but they will not have the ability to use this (if I ever get it created/fully working).

I'm still hitting an issue where the test terminal is not visible. It's there and commands can be written, but the background is either rendered over it, or more likely, I need to tell child widgets to render after the background is rendered. Once I figure that out, I can give you a sneak peek, but be warned, it is extremely early, nasty, fudgy, chainsaw wielding code. :-)
