[maemo-developers] Semi-transparent background for Desktop Widget (Python + Cairo)

[From: Brent Chiodo]

Hi,

The code I've been looking at is a fairly simple widget in Extras called
countdown-home. 95% of it is "fluff" and has nothing to do with this problem
so I've attached a working Python Desktop Widget (very simple, just a couple
gtk.Label's). countdown-home is available from here:

http://repository.maemo.org/extras/pool/fremantle/free/source/c/countdown-home/

(I tried attaching the C file, but the list said it was too big).

If you could try to translate the cairo code from coundown-home into the
Python example, that would be awesome!

Thanks.
