  Look it up in kdenonbeta/gofai-wmt how it is done (it is a simpler app
than konsole). It is just a metter of several lines added to your 
widget code (look it up in gofaiWidget.cpp & h). You
need to copy krootpixmap.cpp & h to your app because we could not agree to
move it to kdelibs (maybe it is not too late?). 

  Of course, it is just pseudo-transparency.
