m Add suggestion on Transparency support
Another way would be adding a new parameter to the silent (again !) install. This could help large organizations to switch to Firefox...

; Add real transparency support to gtk2/cairo builds on X11
Having some XComposite/XRender support for ARGB visuals would be nice.
 
Here is a [http://adesklets.sourceforge.net/verbatim/cairo/test.html simple page]; right now, it looks like [http://adesklets.sourceforge.net/verbatim/cairo/firefox_now.jpg this], and it would be nice if we could have it look like [http://adesklets.sourceforge.net/verbatim/cairo/firefox_wished.jpg that] instead.
 
In my opinion, that's the only feature lacking in Firefox to create first-quality "mozlets", similar to the Opera's widgets or Safari's dashboard (if not better, since Opera's widget goes nowhere farther than using XShape).
 
I heard that desktop-level transparency is supported thanks to the work of Robert O'Callahan and Vladimir Vukicevic since Firefox 1.5 on Gecko's GFX engine: can it be "ported" to Thebes?
