Transparency?

[Chris Nystrom x8269 <cnystrom talmid sps mot com>]

I am developing an application that combines both text and graphics. I
tried using a canvas and handling the text myself, but I could not seem 
to get the performance that I needed.

Next I tried embedding a zvt_term widget in my canvas and it works, but it
covers up my graphics.

Here is the question:

Will the transparent attribute in zvt_term_set_background() make my
zvt_term transparent so that the graphics on the canvas that it is
embedded on show through?

Or is there a better way?

Thanks,
Chris
