      A number of people have asked for Components which simply receive input
      from an area of the screen. This is similar to X11's InputOnly windows
      or News' transparent canvases. In both of those cases, it was not possible
      to draw to the transparent or InputOnly canvas...

      Another report:

      Hi,
      I would like to have feature in AWT that can create a
      transparent containter window in Java Application (not applet).
      Basically what I want to create
      is a Java applciation, which will have an
      invisible/transparent containter. Then I can add say button,or canvas components in it.
      So that I can see only those components I added in the containter.

      The effect will be ...
      On screen you will see Java components I added
      in the container as if they are floating on screen
      loosely.

      This type of feature will help in creating a Java based desktop etc.
      Remember I want to do this in Java applciation, not in applet.

      I hope I am not asking too much.

      Thanks.
