As I (and many other people) said some weeks ago, these are not really
transparent. Actually they are rxvt-xpm's with a background pictures that
adjusts perfectly with the background.
My attempt to achieve this rather nice effect can be found here:

If you're looking for true transparent terms, watch the next versions
of ETerm (Rasterman's), which are likely to include this feature. You'll
also need a lot of extra CPU cycles...

With best wishes,
Sam.
