/**
 * Creates pseudo-transparent widgets.
 *
 * A pseudo-transparent widget is a widget with its background pixmap set to
 * that part of the desktop background that it is currently obscuring. This
 * gives a transparency effect.
 *
 * To create a transparent widget, construct a KRootPixmap and pass it a
 * pointer to your widget. That's it! Moving, resizing and background changes
 * are handled automatically.
 *
 * Instead of using the default behaviour, you can ask KRootPixmap
 * to emit a @ref backgroundUpdated(const QPixmap &) signal whenever
 * the background needs updating by using @ref setCustomPainting(bool).
 * Alternatively by reimplementing @ref updateBackground(KSharedPixmap*)
 * you can take complete control of the behaviour.
