I tought about an use case like that in the past...

you would need to have a very big panel, mostly completely transparent (so it 
means you couldn't use always visible mode, and you depend from having 
composite)
but for 3rd party things may be ok-ish.

what the panel on our side would need to do, is not to draw its background in 
that case, basically just respect the background hints, just like applets do.
I am thinking to add that never the less in 5.8, wouldn't change for the 
default one, but could be a little fun quirky possibility for kdelook stuff
