What you are talking about is called 'alpha-blending' -- muchos cpu
cycles required. I believe KDE 3 does it ... but konsole's transparency
doesn't work for me, so I can't comment on whether it does
alpha-blending.

All the other terms that do transparency (rxvt, Eterm, aterm &
gnome-terminal) basically display the correct section of the backdrop as
their bg.
