Transparency

Hi there!
With the compositing manager (xcompmgr) of xserver, it is possible to create
transparent windows and whatnot. This is great (should anyone be in
doubt ;-).
But I wonder: Everybody's favourite transparent apps of all times, the
transparent console windows, will it be possible to get true transparency
with xserver without changing the opacity of the whole window?
Transparent window backgrounds can be somewhat annoying if the text on them is
equally transparent, not to mention the window decorations.
What I'm basically asking: Is it possible, with xcompmgr, to have different
"layers" within the same window with different opacities? I suppose this
would require some changes to the toolkits of the windows, or what?
Yours,
