stefan k has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Fellow Monks,
I seek wisdom in the creation of transparent windows with gtk-perl. Of course I know about the famous tutorial but I didn't find what I search for there and thus I am in desperate need for your wise input.
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?)

Thanks in advance Brother Stefan
you begin bashing the string with a +42 regexp of confusion
