You have to use either gnome-terminal or Eterm ( I prefer Eterm when it comes to
transparency...)
 You can make it transparent with eihter the preferences or with menuoptions...

Bye the way you have to set your background with control-center (aka gnomecc) so
that the terminals can find
the Background image, or use Esetroot, which goes with Eterm (command line)

And if you wanna have sth really fancy:

    An icon in the panel, when you click on it it changes the background to a
new pics, taken from a directory where you
        can put all your  background pictures...


you can find the how to do it somewhere in the archives. I have posted it like a
month ago or so.

click (<-- that was me changing my background   :-)   )


enjoy
