Example of problem

Description of problem:
---

GNOME Terminal's transparency setting is completely broken under GNOME running under Wayland.


How reproducible:
---

Always


Steps to Reproduce:
---
1. Open GNOME terminal.
2. Go to the "Profiles" tab of the Preferences window and Edit a profile.
3. Enable background transparency (via the "Colors" tab of the "Editing Profile" window.)


Actual results:
---

Terminal is rendered with artifacts, sometimes with working transparency, other times not.


Expected results:
---

Terminal background becomes transparent and correctly alpha-blended as it does under X11.


Additional info:
---

Duplicate of bug 1207943 ?

Note, there is no transparency in gnome-terminal upstream AFAIK, this is a patch added downstream that breaks things with Wayland.

Sorry, I didn't find that when I first filed.  Marking as dupe.
