I found "translucency" - is that it?  I couldn't turn it on because  it
asks for Xorg ≥ 6.8 (which I have) and some Xconfig changes.  Is this
really necessary?  I had a transparent terminal with kde once already,
and I didn't do anything special...

yes, but you should be able to specify a + OR - for the x and y offset
as well:

-geometry WxH+Xoffs+Yoffs where
W: width
H: height
Xoffs: x offset*
Yoffs: y offset*

* x is relative to the left screen edge, if positive, and relative to
right screen edge if negative.
* y is relative to the top screen edge, if positive, and relative to the
bottom screen edge, if negative.

I tried - instead of -- and the results are the same: -0-0 is not
implemented properly...

whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
