Transparent windows redux

[JJ Neff]

I just linked to and did an "apt-get" of all the needed KDE .debs for KDE for
mi esposa to use the Linux box.   I also got games so once she is using e-mail
and playing games on this machine I really won't need Win anymore (except for
Tombraider which I can not boycott).

I will be setting up her environment tonight and getting themes.  I will look
for the elusive "transparent term" although I know eterm does it already.  If
you find it please forward.

PS  I am in the midst of the LyX tutorial.  Pretty neat stuff.  Still a whole
paradigm shift from how I was "raised" but I see it's strengths.  Well gotta go
read more, kill more undead in Myth2 and make dinner so I can watch
SCI-FI-prime(Farscape, Good v. Evil, LeXX) uninterrupted.
