It appears that setting a transparent Gnome Terminal interferes with the visual effects, and setting the Visual Effects to "None" correspondingly affects the Terminal settings (transparency disappears). It appears also that the Terminal transparency setting is interpreted as belonging to a "Custom" type of "Visual Effects", because none of the options in "Visual Effects" is checked after restart (regularly GUI options box, "none checked" often equals "custom settings in use", as we all know).
I realized that the Gnome Terminal transparency behavior has changed in the upgrade from Hardy to Intrepid, so that the former pseudo transparency has changed into "true" transparency (meaning that the transparent window lets the underlying windows and not only the desktop background be seen through). So, if my guess is correct, it could be that saved custom visual settings (such as Terminal transparency) affect the Visual Effects scheme? -- intrepid, visual effects settings are not restored after session restart https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269292 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
