Alpha blended png for splash screen?

[Dan Korostelev <dan ats energo ru>]

Hello.

Is there a way to show a PNG splash screen with alpha blending (may be with evil hacks) with GTK 2.4 and XFree86 4.3?

This is the code I wrote:

GtkWidget *abase_create_splash() {
	GtkWidget *win;
	GtkWidget *image;
	
	win = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_POPUP);
	gtk_window_set_decorated(GTK_WINDOW(win), FALSE);
    gtk_window_set_position(GTK_WINDOW (win), GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER_ALWAYS);
	
	image = gtk_image_new_from_file(g_build_filename(PACKAGE_PIXMAPS_DIR, "abase_splash.png", NULL));
	gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(win), image);
	
	
	return win;	
};
