I was facing this problem of running Tecplot on Ubuntu 12.04 as the background screen becomes transparent (both with and without -mesa command), which makes it very difficult to post-process and visulalize data.
One solution was to switch off the 3D unity effects by running the command
$metacity --replace
However it will change disable entire 3D effects and you may lose important buttons. A better solution is given in tecplot knowledge base.

In summary running these commands will help you to get the desired result.

On a similar note, below is also interesting as I found similar problem in making animation from tec360.
