Of course, the terminal wasn't transparent. But moving to the default 
GTK theme improved things by 50-100%, so now we can approach 1/3 the 
speed of rxvt-unicode in certain cases. ;)

Still, _why_ are we redrawing the scrollbar? It gets to its minimum size 
and sits there, unless I scroll it.

Yes, sorry about that. I have a pretty weird setup. Surely someone else 
has profiled vte before? Nevertheless, looks like those pixbuf calls 
were from theme drawing. All gone now - please look at the updated 
profiles attached to 137864
