set_transparent/get_transparent() is actually based directly on the
drawsBackground from the Mac API (there might still be a case for removing it),
but you are right that setting a background color is also a useful feature
present on Mac.

I'll need to compare the proposed implementation to the one in Mac since Mac's
was slightly more compilicated IIRC.

Out of curiosity, is the background color/alpha setting useful in apps
(guessing this is for pidgin)?
