emacs as init -- interesting. I bet I could make this run, but I don't know enough emacs to test it. Maybe an emacs user who has time could try it.

Welcome to Gnome camp.

"We remove stuff because we know you do not need it. Who the fuck wants transparent terminal backgrounds?"

I like this part:
The ability to set background transparency was removed as a part of a much larger clean up of the gnome-terminal code base. This modernisation effort is much needed and it should be remembered that the terminal has an old and complicated code base. Background transparency was also known to cause a range of performance issues, including slowness and memory leaks.

Given the number of active terminal developers, the need to clean up the code base and known bugs with background transparency, it was decided that the resources were not available to maintain background transparency and keep the quality to the required level.
Translation: the gnome-terminal code is crap and too many people are working on it, so we removed part of it in the hopes this will make it less crappy. We have no idea if this will work.
