Do you mean "transparent" or "translucent"? If you really just want 
transparent areas, don't draw on those areas.

If what you really want is translucent areas, then you should probably 
read the code of our test plugin: 
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/plugins/test/testplugin/nptest_gtk2.cpp

In particular take a look at "pluginDrawSolid" "pluginDrawWindow" and 
the GraphicsExpose case in pluginHandleEvent. It uses cairo to draw a 
translucent box.
