This doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe you can show a few lines
of code to let us see what you are doing?

"Background looks transparent" sounds like you are  doing
gdk_window_set_back_pixmap (window, NULL, FALSE). (It's not
actually transparent, just that it won't automatically repaint
on expose events.)
