gnome-terminal composite transparency no longer works

[Matt Wheeler]

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

Version 2.18.0-0ubuntu1 (feisty)
Before today's updates setting transparency on the effects tab would make the background translucent, now the background is plain (black in my case) regardless of where the slider is placed.

I can confirm this bug. Oddly enough, if you set the cursor to blink, the cursor is transparent but the rest of the window is not.

Odd extra bit of info...
The rectangle under the cursor is translucent (i.e. I can see through the window in the space where the cursor block isn't between the blinks)

I'm not an ubuntu user but I've been experiencing that problem. I've applied patches from here, then applied all patches from ubuntu, that You apply - still nothing.

Tried to apply the patch from upstream, but vte didn't build.

Ppl here seem to have resolved their problems, but I can't ;/

due to vte
