RE: Transparency, again...

["Shahms E. King" <shahms shahms com>]

That's a patch by Owen Taylor that does exactly that to get
transparency.  It's here: 
http://people.redhat.com/otaylor/gtk/

I doubt if it will even apply to the current Gtk+, but you can have a
look at it anyway.  You can get transparency of widgets and such
depending on the theme/engine, but it doesn't apply to top-level
windows, at least not that I've found.
