[compiz] gtk-window-decorator metacity opacity theme

[David Reveman]

Hey,

I assume that the new metacity theme version [1] will have full support
for alpha but it might make sense to add support for translucent
decorations to old themes as well. We need to make sure that it doesn't
cause any issues with some themes though. It seems to me that it makes
more sense to have an overall opacity setting that can be used to adjust
how translucent the decorations should be. That can be implemented in
such a way that we can be sure that it doesn't cause issues with some
old themes. What do you think?

btw, is the changes to the create_pixmap function in your patch suppose
to be a cleanup? The changes makes it so it no longer fails when an ARGB
colormap can't be find and I'm not sure that's right.
