I guess I was not very specific with my query. Sorry.
I know the procedure you mentioned, and followed the same. But
the gnome-terminal does not become transparent! One important
thing I forgot to mention was, this problem happens only when I have
the desktop background set as None. If I choose any other desktop wallpaper,
then this problem does not occur.

Has this problem occurred in other installations too?
