issue: When I do this the widget is nicely transparent, but what I'm<br>
packing into the widget remains opaque. I took a screenshot:<br>

<br>
What is going on is: there are two gtk.Image's shown. They are both<br>
packed into gtk.EventBox's which is packed into a gtk.VBox which is<br>
added to the widget itself.<br>
<br>
How would I go about making everything but the actual image<br>
transparent? (the two images are transparent png's so I do not believe<br>
that is what is causing the black opaque boxes).<br>
<br>
If you need the actually code (which is a bit sloppy at the moment)<br>
I'll be glad to clean it up and send it along.<br>
<br>
You've been a great help, thanks so much!<br>
<br>
P.S. Merry Christmas!<br>
