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

I KNOW that.  Okay, call it pseudo-transparency.  Sheesh.  :)  

But the ETerm folks *need* Esetroot.  A big fat ugly memory hog, in my 
view.  Aterm doesn't need any kind of setroot now to run very well, as 
of 0.4.0.  (Before, without a setroot, there were some rather disturbing 
scrollbar issues but the pseudo-transparency was still there).

Yes, yes, yes, know all about it, think it's a bad idea.  But that's 
just me, the 'Java for stuff other than web applets and toaster ovens? 
<twitch twitch>' person.  I just want to see the background.  I don't 
want to see other bloomin' windows.
