The problem is that whatever editor you use wants to inherit its

I don't think so.
A "window" is a window. Whatever you do in that window is entirely up to
the app. That's why WM's can do what they do, by wrapping your editor in
all sorts of eye candy, by the app itself has NFI what's going on
outside it's own window (other than the WM_HINTS, which would get passed
to the TopLevel anyway - but they're only hints)
Course, I haven't tried any of this, and haven't done any lowlevel X11
programming for 10 years. But i was doing alpha-blending more than 10
years ago, LONG before it became fashionable !
Then why don't you go help them out since its so simple?
I'm sure they'd love the help.
