aterm isn't really "transparent" they are using the same thing that
the ETerm folks have been doing for a while.

which is to grab the root window's pixmap for the coordinates that the
aterm is over and using that as the background for the aterm.

real transparency would allow you to see a window that is underneath
the aterm.

take a look at:

an X Server written in Java w/ "real" transparency, notice that you
can see windows under other windows.
