using compiz features in applications

Hello,

Now that compiz and AIGLX are working in unstable I'm quite interested
in knowing how I'd go about using the visual goodnes in my own
applications.

I have this application which darkens the background by using the same
trick GNOME used to use for the logout dialog.

I figured the best place for me to ask for guidance would be the X
Strike Force, so here I am asking: do you have any pointers to a library
for doing this kind of thing with compiz/aiglx help, and its
documentation?

Thanks,
