GTK needs to add support for alpha channels...

But Compiz Fusion does it.

True Compiz does this but it's not true RGBA. The Murrine gtk engine will be able to do true RGBA soon. I also believe Clearlooks in SVN can do this. So this is already being worked on.

GTK already supports that but only theme that uses RGBA (Murrine) is not released as stable :P .
