Hi,
I've been looking for the same feature, but it seems that is shipped with kde 3.2 (currently in beta stage). If tou're using 3.1 like me, i think that's not available right now, althought the kicker can be set transparent(using keramic)

Konsole already has transparent modes.
- Open a konsole
- Settings -> Color Schemes (or something along those lines)
-> select a transparent one

If you like it you can save the setting by selecting
Settings -> Save as default (or something along those lines)

Konsole transparent

Yes, you're right, konsole has a pseudo transparent mode, which is achieved by redrawing consecutively the background. Anyway, I preffer Eterm implementation of such features.

hmm, I'm using two monitors with a 9800 Pro and if I turn on panel transparency it works on the primary monitor and just produces garbage on the second...

Transparency

This may not be what you are looking for, but you can get rid of borders and stuff by using kstart:

kstart --type Override aterm -tr +sb

If this was not what you were looking for, please forget this comment. :-)

well that is for KDE3.2 not for 3.1, I dont think it a good idea to upgrade to 3.2 when it is still in beta testing.
