In terms of a PPA - yes I built tilix (pull-lp-source tilix) with the patch in a PPA which had the proposed repo enabled.
I had to enable the proposed repo in bionic to install due to the phobos library change. This didnt install the revised vte. So yes - the patched tilix worked fine with vte 0.50.
Once I instablled the two vte 0.51 libraries from proposed, again tilix did not exhibit the transparent behaviour. So good news!
okey-dokey - sponsors - understood!
