D'oh! I forgot about wterm; I have never used gnome-terminal; and I left out rxvt because it is transparent only if you leave it in one spot, last I checked. wterm, aterm, and Eterm all do it on their own, and I imagine gnome-terminal does also, but just as heavy as Eterm does it. But, there was some reason why I didn't like wterm as much as aterm. I forget it now, of course. :) I stand corrected. :) Thanks -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?
