I believe the current plan is to have two classes of windows, called
InputOutput, and
InputOnly
InputOnly windows serve the same purpose as X10 transparent windows,
although I believe they aren't used for clipping. To do the clipping
operations, you can specify a graphics context that has a list of
clipping rectangles where your transparent window would have been.
