In RH 6.0 under preferences GNOME terminal's transparency button works properly ... that is, when you depress this button, you get the following results: Foreground (font) color displays properly (as color set) Backgroup color does not display, instead background of terminal is transparent and lets desk background show through. In RH 6.1 under preferences GNOME terminal's transparency button NO LONGER works properly... that is, when you depress this button, you get the following results: Foreground (font) color displays as set Background color STILL displays as set (in other words, background color stays set instead of providing 'transparency' FX.) However, pixmap background works! :) Sys Info... NCR 3272 ATI 3D RAGE PRO / AGP 2X (GT-C2U2) Video Card ATI Internal DAC 4Mb of Video Memory Monitor set to 1280 by...

Jonathan: this does still seem to be the case. Can you please look into it? If you can't find the problem, it should probably be disabled.
??? Works for me (TM) how are you setting the background?
