Yup, sounds workable!
FWIW, I tried this in a quick test: I created an animated GL scene, then created a "panel" window that would pop up on top of the scene. This "panel" was created as a non-modal, borderless, Fl_Window, with the boxtype set as FL_NO_BOX (hence it was "transparent") and the widgets within the panel were regular fltk buttons. All the fltk widgets in the panel worked fine, and did not get stamped on by the GL updates occuring underneath them. So that does look like a potential solution, then, I think.
