Bug Description

When I was using Ubuntu 13.10 terra worked great. But since I have done a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS terra no longer works. Below is the error messages I got when I launched it.

terra
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/terra", line 27, in <module>

    self.vte.set_background_saturation(ConfigManager.get_conf('transparency') / 100.0)
AttributeError: 'Terminal' object has no attribute 'set_background_saturation'

I really like Terra, so I hope my error msg will help you to fix terra. Thanks for your help in advance.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/terra/?setlang=ru
"comment the lines 152, 156 and 165 in the file "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/terra/VteObject.py"

after that Terra works well, but without background transparency or image"
