I am sorry but it does not. This question is so common its even made it to the Enlightenment FAQs! It is not possible with X (yet), without using enourmous amount of computing (first getting screen, then transforming, then using as a background pixmap). Using semi-transparent windows will not be practically possible until we have a system using alpha-channels.
