 development, or possibly later, as it is likely to require some 
 largish changes to the infrastructure.
 
 I would hypothesize that the likelyhood of you implementing this
 before the weekend is rather smallish.  If you need a quick and 
 dirty solution which gives the appearance of translucency without 
 actually implementing it properly, you could do some ugly hack 
 like some of the window managers do in your application(s).

Doesn't Xrender do a pretty good imitation of this?
