[compiz] window drawing problems in my plugin

Hello

I'm writing a compiz plugin that mimics the WindowMaker dock, but instead
just being in 2d, I have cubes where icons and dockapps (actually any
application) are rendered too.

Now I'm wondering how can i hide the "real windows" that i dock and keep the
decorator from drawing decorations on them?
Since i need to get damage-events on the windows i assume i cant just unmap
them either. =/
I've been looking on the scale plugin but i didn't find anything there that
helped me.

Currently the docked apps are rendered both to the screen and my dock! Here
is a screenshot of the problem:

atm I'm just using the  drawWindow function from the window, after i have
scaled and rotated it.

The second thing I'm wondering about is there any way to automagically
forward the X events to the docked apps or do I have to write that code
myself?
