Public bug reported:

To reproduce:

0) open  gnome-terminal

1) Open a profile *without* transparent background. ie a solid colour
background

2) position a firefox window or something with a lot of white beneath
the majority of the gnome-terminal

3) hit enter enough times to reach the bottom.  This should 'clear' the
state of whether it shows transparent background or not

4)

> clear

to clear the terminal and present a prompt at the top

5)  notice that the screen is unreadable as gnome-terminal has somehow
100% transparent background.  See screenshot.
