Comment 5 for bug 518447

It's definitely doing this for me too in Lucid. No transparency if it autostarts at boot, but if i quit it and start it again manually, it's fine.

I don't get it. What's different about the command ':~$ tilda' being run by the startup applications manager from me running it from the terminal or clicking it in the applications menu? As far as I can tell, that's the only difference between the two instances.
