Fellow Monks,&lt;br&gt;
I seek wisdom in the creation of transparent windows with gtk-perl. Of course I know about the famous &lt;a href="http://personal.riverusers.com/~swilhelm/gtkperl-tutorial/index.html"&gt;tutorial&lt;/a&gt; 
but I didn't find what I search for there and thus I am in desperate need for your wise input.&lt;br&gt;
Furthermore I'm wondering whether one can create only a transient window (w/o parent toplevel) to get a window without decorations (I could do that by matching the title in sawfish but what about others?)
 
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;table width="80%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;&lt;small&gt;Thanks in advance&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/td&gt;

&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;small&gt;you begin bashing the string with a +42 regexp of confusion&lt;/small&gt;
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
