Re: pseudo transparency

Hi,

It's probably relevant here that the current pseudo-transparency bad
hacks can go away as soon as Keith implements actual transparent
windows.

I'd kind of hate to formalize the current appalling broken hacks, but
at the same time replacing them with a new mildly-less-broken _NET
mechanism seems pointless - why break a working convention when we
hope to just get rid of the whole mess in the end?

Maybe it makes sense to just document the current convention in some
detail, and put the resulting document on freedesktop.org, but don't
put it in the WM spec. (After all, this convention can be used by many
apps that are not the window manager.)
