In O'Reilly "X Toolkit Intrinsics: Programming Manual (Volume Four),
section 5.3.8 (page 156 in my copy), the authors state:

  Background     can be a solid color, pattern, or transparent.

I have tried to get a transparent widget, using code similar to example
5-13, but it is not transparent.

I have looked at the following sections:

  Volume 5: XtCreateWindow reference page
  Volume 1: 4.3.1 The Window Background
  Volume 2: XCreateWindow reference page

Is it possible that the tookit is using XCreateSimpleWindow?

Any ideas? Please elaborate.
