I'm running gnome-terminal with transparency on, btw.
Comment 3 Duncan Mak 2002-03-20 16:25:38 UTC 
Here's the output from xterm:

<duncan@affricate: ~/ > gnome-terminal --sync

gnome-terminal (pid:1876): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gnome-terminal'
received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadGC (invalid GC parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 7409 error_code 13 request_code 62 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
function.)
aborting...
