Now someone could come with a good solution to integrate this nicely in Terminal. I think about a hidden option in ~/.config/Terminal/terminalrc, or even a slider.
Here is a first patch. It sets a hard-coded color for the alpha channel (0xDDDD).
Edit: And here comes a second patch which adds a hidden option for the opacity (ColorOpacity). It has to be in decimal, where 0xCCCC is 52428. Don't apply it over the first patch.
Edit 2: Benny commited changes to the trunk with support for real transparency, and a check for the version of libvte.

I'm sorry but in what directory should i be in to apply the patch?
