[maemo-developers] How to get a transparent GtkWindow (fremantle)

[From: Luca Donaggio]

I thought it was somewhat related to transparency because doing this:

gdk_window_reparent(win->window,gtk_widget_get_window(GTK_WIDGET
(mainwin)),300,200);

makes the HildonAppMenu work again at the price of loosing the transparency
effect (modified code attached).
