Fwd: general transparency issues (was: transparent menus)

just would like to tell who could be of interest that fbsetbg is a
script which try a lot of programs until it find one which works (i
mean, which you have in your path) to set the background. so 'i use
fbsetbg' tells nothing about which program is setting your background.
well i've been using Esetroot (yes, with fbsetbg) and it seems that
fluxbox is not aware that the background changes, so transparency gets
messed up (i mean, i do a 'fbsetbg anything.jpg' and menu and toolbar
keeps 'transparent' with the old background).  i've noticed that when
i use the styles menu to change to another style, fluxbox fixes the
transparency mess. the fact is that the style changes much faster than
the background, so i have to set the same style twice in order to
unmess the transparency thing.
well, the real fact is that i've been using a single 'generic' style
and a keyboard shortcut to a script which changes my background to a
random one. so fluxbox never knows about the change and it always gets
messed up. the toolbar specialy, because it's always there and have no
need to redraw background transparency. then i have to apply the style
again or set/unset visible or autohide to get by. root menu most of
the times updates it's transparency thing, as it needs to redraw each
time it opens.. but sometimes it keep drawing transparency with the
old background anywere you open it. when it happens, applying the same
style (a style without a root command) won't fix it.
well i've aready got toolbar menu drawing transparency with one
background, toolbar options menu with another, root menu with yet
another and root submenus with another other one, then i had a
restart. not to mention fbpager transparency. i use aterm transparency
and it updates when i move the window, so i made a script using wmctrl
which moves 'all' aterm. a nasty workaround, but that's the first
thing i could think about and that's like this 'till today.

i'm using 0.9.14
hints and comments about transparency problems and workaround are welcome =)
