Wuaa. Please do not forget that transparency does _only_ work with
desktop effects and not everybody has the drivers to run these or it
sucks with their drivers.

Transparency should imo be only an _additional_ hint but it should work
also perfectly without, especially for the standard theme.

Btw. the same goes for the active window (the glowing shadow). If there
is no composition enabled there still has to be a clear hint!


So please do not forget that there are people that do not have
composition (for whatever reason).
