Description of problem: gnome-terminal background transparency is reset to zero after the last window is closed (which means all terminals are completely transparent at login) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-terminal-3.6.1-1.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. choose a profile, set its background to transparent and set transparency to a value between 0 and 100% 2. all other terminals with the same profile are affected immediately 3. close all terminals with the same profile 4. open another terminal with the same profile as before Actual results: new terminal is completely transparent (opacity is reset to zero) Expected results: transparency settings should be persistent Additional info: This has already been filed on Jun 2012 as bug 832716 but it might go unnoticed for F18 since it was filed for F17, thought I should open a new issue for F18. I filed this bug upstream as well [https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692753] and the response was: "Looks like a gconf bug to me; there's no code writing to the opacity gconf key when creating a new terminal."
This is not a gnome-terminal bug, it's probably caused by gnome-settings-daemon. Just filed bug 912161 to track this. Closing as NOTABUG.
