Would you really want that, even if it could be done? The effect would be that 
your active window was cutting a hole through the underlying windows to reveal 
the desktop. As much as the translucency effect is annoying and a performance 
drag, it is at least consistent with the layered windows metaphor. You'd be 
better off just making your window entirely opaque, and I think we should be 
doing that to send Apple the message that we don't want the stinking 
translucency effect.
