Extra credit:

1.  Make it use xosd instead of a borderless gtk window.
2.  Make it use a semitransparent ARGB window to make the window mostly
transparent (or completely transparent) but the text opaque.
3.  Use _NET_WM_WINDOW_OPACITY to make the entire thing semitransparent.
4.  Use 'fake' transparency to copy the bits of the screen behind it
into the gdk window's back pixbuf.
