I understood the honor as in: "I, the theme, hereby tell you that the engine 'honors' the 'transparent-bg-hint'". With this knowledge gecko does not fill the background and everyone is happy.

The hint from gecko the engine means:
"You are drawing directly on top of the canvas. There is no need to initilize the background or undo any filling done by GTK+/gecko."
