I've yet to see a Gtk2 window which is truly transparent all the way down to the window underneath it, like a transparent Gnome terminal.
Oops, I spoke too soon. This is a window that is totally transparent. I derived it from the clock.pl example that comes in the Gtk2-Perl study guide of Dirk Van Der Walt, at http://forgeftp.novell.com/gtk2-perl-study/download/ It may need refinements, but it does demonstrate a totally transparent Gtk2 window.
