Well, the single GUI is solved and I also found some workarounds for
some of the problems.

Good to hear!

1) The problem was cause by adding --display=:0.0 and such.

On the command line? Or in a config file?


2) Workaround for not closing the open gnome-terminal is by making
symlinks to many of them:

In Windowmaker I also disabled the titlebar and resizebar. Although
many things are working on the individual screens, those don't with
gnome-terminal, while they did with wterm and aterm.

However when I look at slrn, I do not get to see the background and
neither when I run mc or yast in a terminal.


Just out of curiosity, have you looked at, or tried, rxvt? I used to
use that quite a bit and liked its speed and small footprint. I didn't
see it in 10.3 but it looks like its replacement is urxvt. From what I
remember, it handles transparency, too . . .
