I don't think they are, nor ever will be, in rootless mode. It's
difficult to do rootless, since the server would have to poll what the
Quartz stuff behind looked like; essentially it would have to
continuously update the (invisible) root window with an image of the
quartz desktop.
If you want transparent terminals, I really recommend you stick with the
genuine Aqua ones. I use iTerm, which is a huge amount better than
Terminal.app. It supports many features I used to like in Gnome
terminal, such as multiple tabs, and the ability to select URLs and send
them straight to your browser (it links very nicely into Camino, and
probably other browsers too)
Plus of course you get cocoa-style drag-and-drop cut and paste to other
cocoa applications, and between terminal windows.
