leading stars not hidden

I'm using gnome-terminal in debian etch with a white background.  The org-hide face foreground is set to "white," but it actually shows up as a light grey.  Has anyone else run into this problem and found a solution?  I can change to a black background and make it work, but I'd rather not.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Just out of curiosity, if you're using Gnome, why not use the X display
of Emacs?  I myself use emacslient -t and co., so I'm genuinely curious
what you're using it for.

I do the same thing (i.e. run emacs from gnome-terminal with emacs -nw), for (probably questionable) aesthetic reasons: I like my emacs sessions to have the same look as all my terminal sessions. I'm a recent convert/refugee to gnome from a fairly brutal minimalist window manager (ion3), and am quite taken with things like semi-transparent backgrounds. So I have a darkish desktop background pattern which is visible behind my emacs and terminal sessions. The leading stars are not very visible in a dark face, so that's OK. I assume there's no obvious way to set the org-hide face so that the leading stars are transparent? (or even, transparent to the same degree as the background of my gnome-terminal?)

Perhaps another Gnomer can correct me: you can enable transparency for
any client frame using compiz.  Have you tried it out?
