I have gnome-terminal's displayed from my Linux box. I can set the background transparent, but if I also click to make it shaded it just goes to black. Not sure what would cause this or where to even begin looking. Is it a missing extension in the server? Cary ---- Cary Jamison Cary.Jamison@PowerQuest.com (801) 705-8685 voice (801) 705-4685 fax
