Transparent Panels

[JoeHill]

From what I can see by searching the list and the docs, I should be able to set
panel transparency. I think I found the config option here:

	<panel>
		<properties>
			<property name="size" value="26"/>
			<property name="monitor" value="0"/>
			<property name="screen-position" value="1"/>
			<property name="fullwidth" value="1"/>
			<property name="xoffset" value="0"/>
			<property name="yoffset" value="0"/>
			<property name="handlestyle" value="0"/>
			<property name="autohide" value="0"/>
			<property name="transparency" value="20"/>
			<property name="activetrans" value="0"/>
		</properties>
		<items>
			<item name="showdesktop" id="1"/>
			<item name="pager" id="2"/>
			<item name="tasklist" id="3"/>
			<item name="systray" id="4"/>
		</items>
	</panel>

...but when I change that and log in, my CPU goes a'flyin' and no transparency.
Now, I have composite enabled using xcompmgr, is there some way I have to run
it in order for the panels to be transparent?

Thanks!
