+Q:	Can I make gaim transparent?
+
+A:	Transparency would make Gaim invisible.  You probably want
+translucency.  Translucency is not a feature of X11, therefore we do not
+support it.  X.org provides a COMPOSITE extension to do this, but not only
+is it X.org-specific, it requires support at the GTK+ level (if it is to
+be per-widget).  We also have no interest in the psuedo-translucency
+offered by some other programs.  While WinGaim has a plugin to do this, we
+have no intention of including it for X11 platforms until supported by
+GTK+.
