There's been a bug report against tilda for more than a year to get them to
update their vte version. Some of the things tilda can do, like an opaque
background, are unsupported in vte 2.91. Unfortunately this puts tilda in a
tight spot, needing at least 0.30 and less than 0.38. Some of the other
terminals out there either use or used this version also, but I haven't
checked to see if they've moved on yet or not.
