That's an interesting demo. In the source, I can't actually see where the translucency is set.
Anyway, I know that although some prototypes were knocked up a few years ago, it actually needs a translucent window extension which hasn't been written yet (more hacking on the x internals needed)

I would have added this to the bug, but I don't have access to my bugzilla password right now (why oh why didn't i change it!).
Anyway, we can't implement this currently, X11 doesn't support transparent windows :(
Not quite true See the following:
Transparency galore!!
Note: One method only works of a CVS version of Xft/Xrender. extension(s?) The other works using the shape extension.
It's prossible, but not necessarily trivial -Rob.
P.S. Apologies to Mike, sent first version of this message Bcc Wine devel.
