I like this idea, but why the need to hint the engine that the background is transparent ? Why not make the style property mean "engine doesn't need background pre-filling", and then the engine would just paint whatever is needed to get correct rendering without assuming the background color is the base_gc one... I mean, the engine knows that it may encounter non filled backgrounds, since it set the style property.

OK, somebody could probably set the style property in the theme gtkrc or something, with an engine that doesn't support it, but hey, people doing stupid things shouldn't be rewarded...
