I would like to make my Xvideo appear translunent by
using alpha blending of my video image against the
"desktop background".  However, each time before the
before any of the Xv PutImage() is invoked, after the
window is created, it appears that the background of
the window has already been painted to some color,
like black.  I would like to prevent such things from
happening.

Thanks,
Wei-Chong Tan.
