I am using IceWM and it is not compositing window manager. I can run
xcompmgr as standalone one and I have tried it with following
settings, but I cannot see transparency.
(set-frame-parameter nil 'alpha-background 50)
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(alpha-background . 50))
Did anybody enable transparency xcompmgr?

IIRC xcompmgr does not work.
That option also does not work on Lucid, Motif or GTK+ 2. Use the no
toolkit build.

Same for GTK3 in PGTK or X11 GTK?

No, it works on PGTK and GTK 3, but you will see problems on some
compositors due to GTK itself setting the opaque region.
