Re: real transparency (under X11)
My guess to the real transparency is example, take a sound player and
play music so that there is as counter counting down. Move to so that it
is just above your 'K' or gnome foot, and then open the menu. You will
probably notice the time stopped ticking...
Real transparency is when they dont take a snapshot of the area on
screen that will be used when a menu opens and fade it with the menu to
be shown.
