...actually, if you used xosd or something similar to do it, you could do

That's how it works from my testing. Main problems are A) no way to change
the color B) it's hard to draw legible text with a mouse/Trackpoint.

CCSM = "CompizConfig Settings Manager", the main thing you use to change the
settings in compiz.
