After reading this thread, I decided to install iTerm. My impression
is that it should work with X11, but... How do I do that? How do I
run my X apps through iTerm?
Thanks,
Peter.

earn a spot on my dock. I think I will continue to use Eterm as well
though. There are some neat tricks you can do, such as boarderless
terminal windows. I guess it all comes down to what you want to
do and how you want it to look.
Here is an example of Boarderless Eterm windows and an iTerm window:

hello,
anybody already running (pseudo-) transparent a-, E-, gnome- terms,

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.
