Screenshot showing the bug.

Overview:
Enabling transparency in gnome-terminal using gnome-shell doesn't work as expected because the drop shadow behind the window is visible through the background.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Under "Edit" -> "Profile Preferences" -> "Background", choose "Transparent Background" and move the slider all the way to the left.

Actual Results: 
The terminal background becomes transparent and the drop shadow rectangle is visible through the window as opaque black, blocking view of items behind the terminal.

Expected Results:
The terminal window should show contents of the screen behind the window when made transparent.

Build Date & Platform:
3.0.0-0ubuntu~build1 on Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit running Gnome Shell
