I can only talk about transparency in gnome-terminal here, but vte (the
virtual terminal library gnome-terminal uses) hasn't exposed the
transparency interface for quite a while now because gnome-terminal
itself doesn't offer that option.

The author of termite forked vte into vte-ng so that termite can have
some transparency. (gnome-terminal works perfectly fine with vte-ng as
the only differences between vte and -ng are interface exposures, but
you still won't have transparency in gnome-terminal itself)
