First off, your English is actually quite good, don't worry about it :) You need to have a compositing manager running for RGBA to really do anything. Metacity has one built-in, as does compiz. Alternatively, if you're looking for something fast that'll do transparency, you can run Metacity (or most other window managers) without a built-in compositing manager turned on, and run an external one like xcompmgr (very basic) or cairo-compmgr (which has a little more glitz). I run openbox with xcompmgr or cairo-compmgr, depending on how strong the machine I'm using is.
Transparent titlebars need to be something the window manager turns on... I don't normally use Metacity, so I don't know if it does this normally.
