Note that the x.org ppl seem to think that it's main purpose is
to test translucency and not that the programm is that useful.
Instead the wm is intended to integrate it.

http://transd.berlios.de/
seems to make it a bit more useful.

For the patched version at
http://www.forchheimer.se/transset-df/transset-df-3.tar.gz
Use this:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig CFLAGS="-I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib" make

Probably translucency isn't something really useful anyways ;)
