Normally, the Log Windows are transparent, both
visually and mouse-wise. This changes when the text
background color is made semi-opaque.

To reproduce:

1. drop a desktop icon onto a GeekTool Log Window.

2. in System Preferences, change the Log Window's text
background color to any nonzero opacity and apply the
change.

3. try to drag the icon you dropped in step 1. you can't!

What makes this extra weird is that icons are drawn ON
TOP of the opaque window. You can see the icon with
your eye, but not with your mouse.

    I'm aware of this, and I think this is an Apple issue, but I
    leave this bug open and I hope I'll fix it a day

    I think what needs to be done is to avoid drawing the log
    window in the desktop level when the opacity is nonzero
