transparency - the real thing

[Net Llama!]

A coworker just got a sexy new Mac Powerbook, and had me drooling over how 
gorgeous the entire OSX UI is.  But what really blew me away was the fact 
that OSX can do _real_ window transparency, like this:

That means that every window can be transparent to whatever is behind it. 
Not just the (now) cheap hacks that we see with linux terms, where you get 
the background image, and nothing else.

Or maybe someone can prove me wrong.  Is there linux functionality that 
will give me true transparency?
