Hi list !

I'm having some problems getting the tinting and the shading work with 
xfree86. When i want to get a transparent terminal using the .Xdefaults file 
with the parameters : 
URxvt*inheritPixmap:true
URxvt*tintColor:red
URxvt*shading:50
URxvt*fading:75
URxvt*scrollColor:AntiqueWhite
URxvt*scrollstyle:plain
URxvt*scrollBar:true
URxvt*saveLines:1000
URxvt*cursorBlink:true
URxvt*deletekey:^H
URxvt*foreground:antiquewhite
URxvt*cursorColor:blue3

The tinting and the shading doesn't work at all, the terminal is just 
tranparent, as can be seen on this screenshot 
http://mboquien.free.fr/rxvt.png . This happens on a "scientific 
linux" (https://www.scientificlinux.org/ ; xfree86 4.3), with rxvt-unicode 
5.0 using those configure parameters : ./configure --enable-combining 
--enable-xft --enable-font-styles --enable-utmp --enable-wtmp 
--enable-lastlog --enable-xpm-background --enable-transparency 
--enable-tinting --enable-fading --enable-menubar --enable-half-shadow 
--enable-mousewheel --enable-slipwheeling --enable-cursor-blink 
--prefix=$HOME/local --enable-plain-scroll. As i am not root on this 
computer, it is installed in my ~. Using the same parameters with xorg 6.8.1 
on a gentoo linux, everything works as expected.
What can i do to get the tinting/shading work as expected with xfree 4.3? 
Thank you very much for any help and congratulation to the programmers for 
this very neat terminal. :)

Regards,

Médéric
