<p class=MsoPlainText><font size=1 face=宋体><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:

"cannot do this on maemo", that's too bad, but I hope strongly my
application can run on maemo. I have met the problems some application with a
transparent window can run on maemo successfully, but they will present on
maemo with a gray window. That is so bad state I want not to happen. So do you
have any ideas?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
