Thanks. These examples make transparent as in "clear" masks. I want to draw
a rectangle that scales the RGB components of whatever is behind it.
I could then draw a rectangle on a white background that halves the
red and green components to give a light blue with the covered objects
still visible.

To use gdk_draw_rgb_image, how can i get the pixels from a GdkDrawable
into the rgb_buf array? :

void gdk_draw_rgb_image(GdkDrawable *drawable,
                        GdkGC *gc,
                        gint x,
                        gint y,
                        gint width,
                        gint height,
                        GdkRgbDither dith,
                        guchar *rgb_buf,
                        gint rowstride);
