I must correct that. I see that support for transparency was added to
the core aquaterm source about a year ago, and was tagged for release 1.1
But there is no pre-built binary package for version 1.1 on the SourceForge site.
The newest is 1.0.1 from two years ago. 

If I can figure out how to test for the aquaterm version number in ./configure,
I will try conditionally enabling the transparency in aquaterm.trm
and try to rebuild aquaterm itself from the 1.1 source.
Of course, I'll have to borrow another Mac for this...
