to apply this to GTK rather than X, you need to look at
gtk_widget_shape_combine_mask
this has to be used on a widget with its own window. that doesn't mean
"top level window", it means its own dedicated window for drawing
in. you can't use it with a GtkLabel for example - this widget draws
on the window of its parent.
