The Graphics class has a ClearRect method whose documentation
string mentions "the current background color" but there are no methods to
set the background color. This seems obviously incomplete... which way
will it go in the future?

In general I am having trouble getting my Components to be transparent.
Is there any chance that the peers are clearing my window? How can
I prevent it (I am trying to override update, but without success)?

I am using the Beta APIs on WindowsNT.
