Openbox & dropshading with xcompmgr

Howdy,

I am working on configuring the urxvt terminal so that it is transparent and appears to be "writing to the wallpaper." I have been following the instructions at the end of the arch openbox wiki (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Openbox).

I have followed the instructions and then made some minor tweaks of my own and everything seems to be working perfectly except...

There is a nice shadow around the perimeter of the window.  While this is a very nice feature and is the exact reason I have xcompmgr configured and running it does take away from the "effect" that the terminal is "writing to the wallpaper."

What I am wondering is if anyone knows how to get xcompmgr to stop the dropshading for a specific window or set of windows or if any one knows a cleaver way of getting openbox to work around this.

Thanks much for your help.
