    +Q: Can I make Gaim transparent/translucent?
    -A: Transparency would make Gaim invisible. You probably want
    -translucency. Translucency is not a feature of X11, therefore we do not
    -support it. X.org provides a COMPOSITE extension to do this, but not only
    -is it X.org-specific, it requires support at the GTK+ level (if it is to
    -be per-widget). We also have no interest in the psuedo-translucency
    -offered by some other programs. While WinGaim has a plugin to do this, we
    -have no intention of including it for X11 platforms until supported by
    -GTK+.

    +A: You can make Gaim translucent in most versions of Windows using
    +the "Transparency" plugin. It is not possible to make Gaim
    +translucent in Linux and other platforms that use X11.
    +<p>
    +X.org provides a COMPOSITE extension that allows
    +applications to have true translucency, but it is X.org-specific
    +and it requires support at the GTK+ level (if it is to be
    +per-widget). We do not wish to support this form of translucency
    +until it is supported by GTK+. We also do not wish to implement
    +the psuedo-translucency offered by other programs (by copying
    +a section of your background image, tinting it, and plastering
    +it onto a Gaim window).
