Re: gnome-terminal

["Marc Wilson" <mwilson moonkingdom net>]

This bug is there and there's another related to transparency as well...
gnome-terminal can't deal with a tiled background properly.

Here's an example. set the screen to 1024x768, find a background that's say
512x512.  Install that, then tell gnome-terminal to be transparent.

As long as the terminal stays within the real size of the background pixmap,
it looks fine.  But now, straddle that boundary point at 512 (the seam) with
the terminal... and voila! there's only a background in the part of the
terminal window that's on the left side of the boundary (the first tile).

It doesn't ALWAYS happen, but once it starts happening, it's forever for that
particular terminal... have to close it and start another one.

Happens with the original RH6 Gnome... happens with the updates we've seen
posted here lately.

Neither aterm nor eterm (the other two transparent-capable terminals I know
of) exhibit the problem.
