Comment 7 for bug 203317

U right,
mine is a quck & dirty. Generally we need a better solution with some
more options regarding theme applied to WM and gnome-panel - today
situation is more like a very quick solution [ to choose a file than
set as BG for Gnome Panel - it can be a transparent PNG indeed ], we
need something integrated with "Themes Preferences", so the BG
transparency could be set in some kind of individual mode -> shared from
Compiz OR from Metacity - depend on your WM engine.
