I'm a long time Emacs user but never really created any advanced emacs-lisp.
Good ideas, I will check those programs. Maybe I am mistaken, but
isn't Eterm using fake transparency? Or has it been updated/rewritten
in the mean time? Since you use cairo-compmgr for composite anyways,
can't you make any window transparent?
