When a panel is set to be transparent, it passes a signal in that regard 
to all the applets in that panel. If an applet recognizes and has 
support for transparency, it will set itself to be transparent. The menu 
portion of the panel has not been built with transparency support, and I 
sincerely doubt it will be. It is designed to stand out against a 
background.
