Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
This is very subtle. To see this bug, set your desktop background to black. Open a Nautilus window (or any window with a white background). Don't maximize the white window.
Now, open gnome-terminal and set the background mode to "Solid Color". Drag the terminal over the edge of the white window. You will be able to faintly see the white window through the gnome terminal window.
I had desktop effects enabled when I noticed this. I've reproduced it on multiple machines running Lucid.
This problem causes gnome-terminal windows to lag badly when dragging them around on slower machines using non-accelerated compositing (such as the Metacity compositor).

Don't confirm your own bugs.
When "Solid" is selected, it is also inheriting settings from the theme. The Ambiance and Radiance theme specify some transparency, which is why you are seeing that. To have no transparency with these themes, you can adjust the slider to fully opaque in the preferences
