The transparent background you are using is an old hack (clipping of
the root window pixmaps), for real transparency you need a WM that
supports "compositing" (that i know
xfwm4, development Metacity version, probably Kwin 4.0, probably
Compiz), or using a compositing manager (deprecated).
If you ask me, I would find it distracting:
