Somewhat yes. I twisted some of the effects of B_DRAW_ON_CHILDREN views to
behave like you describe. You can see this in action when you drag the
DeskCalc or ActivityMonitor replicants onto the Desktop. However, I believe
the compositing options of MacOS X are much more powerful and flexible.

I don't like introducing a whole new set of methods. I'd rather have a
toggle switch that affects all existing methods without a lot of fuss. :-)
