Actually, I'm not looking at transparency.  I want to say, have:
gnome-terminal #1's background -- xanim W<gnome-terminal1 id>
gnome-terminal #2's background -- xmatrix -window <gnome-terminal2 id>
gnome-terminal #3's background -- braid -window <gnome-terminal 3 id>
gnome-terminal #4's background -- plaympeg foo.mpg
root window's background -- The Matrix, via VCR->video card input. :-)

etc.

If there isn't a standard of how such things should be handled, I'll start
hacking and see if I can come up with anything.
