The gtk test app uses cairo directly for a (semi-)transparent RGBA 
window. It's pretty cool, but I think every widget will have to 
cooperate, or at least the ones which have their own window. This is 
going to be a pain. Not to mention that it requires gtk 2.8...

I tried to copy+paste the example code into the panel window source, but 
it didn't really work.
