Comment 10 for bug 274461

Pedro: The design decision is a pretty strange one though, it breaks consistency with the rest of the desktop. I think we should consider reverting it. The patch involved is tiny (and attached).

Upstream says this is a theme bug for enabling transparency when an RGBA palette is set, but since g-s-m is the only obvious application doing this, it might be safer to carry a patch there.
Perhaps this is all too late for Intrepid anyway, but I would like to think not. Also, perhaps my approach is completely insane and this will really annoy users of some themes, I'm not sure, but I suspect not.
