[SOLVED] Guake Transparency Issue

So I'm really digging the Guake terminal, but I'm not finding it especially useful because the transparency isn't working correctly. The desktop is clearly shown through Guake but not any active windows.

It looks like this:

When these windows are active and should be visible

Note I'm getting this issue in OpenBox but not XFCE, with identical configurations. Any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] Guake Transparency Issue

That is called pseudo-transparency. If you want real transparency (see the windows underneath) I think you need to enable compositing.
