> How can I use a full screen terminal window and still read documentation in that same screen?
I've asked this question. I've yet to see a reply.
If your documentation isn't viewable in terminal, why do you insist of having a full screen all the time - resize your terminal? If you do insist of having a full screen all the time, why are you using gnome-terminal at all?
> why do you insist of having a full screen all the time
Because I'm actively working in my terminal. Why should I waste space moving something somewhere else, especially away from where I'm looking?

Maybe you like limiting the size of your workspace, but I don't.
> If you do insist of having a full screen all the time,
Because I'm not always in the terminal, but when I'm in the terminal, I don't see a reason to limit the space it uses.
Anyways, not you are being willfully ignorant. Rather than try and understand the problem, and how transparency was being used, you are being dismissive. You aren't trying to help in the least.
So, unless you want to take the time to understand the problem, why waste your time, and others, adding a comment that is essentially worthless?
1) Have you searched the literature on perceptual defects and enablement? If so I'd love to see references.
2) Have you consulted widely on mailing lists that Gnome Terminal users use and checked use cases? If so, can you link to those? I'd like to see them.
Um, do they know their market? I doubt grandma is clammoring for transparency in her terminal windows but she's not the primary user profile for Gnome, you know?
That's should always be second to providing solutions. Solve the problems that transparency solved first. If you aren't aware of the problems that transparency in terminals provided, then removing it is purely an act of ignorance.
