Yeah, it upsets a little. As you said, you need cairo, as the graphic library, and a composite manager as the windowing system. It could be hardware compositors as XGL,or AIGLX, it could be software compositors, like xcompmngr. You need to know how to make a gtk widget first if you want to encapsulate this code. You only need to paint to a cairo surface, you can learn in: http://cairographics.org/samples/ very simple demo I love is http://plan99.net/~mike/blog/?p=38 and Macslow one: http://macslow.thepimp.net/?p=26 there are very useful info in Macslow site. I send you and example of a widget with transparency.
