[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Linux & INHERIT_FORCE issues for transparency

Hello all,

Got a problem on linux :
I am trying to create a composite in a Shell container. The shell container has an image (actually, it is the RCP splash screen of my app).
I create the container in this shell. I set the background mode to INHERIT_FORCE.


Everything works fine on a Windows platform. However, with linux the composite is not transparent at all and is displayed with a gray background color (default color).

Is it a normal SWT behaviour ? Is it possible to have a transparent composite (or any other control) with linux ? If yes, how should I do ?
Should I instantiate a SWT control different from Composite ?


I noticed that there was the same problem with Label controls and it seems like even the Eclipse splash screen loading label is not transparent under Linux...

Workarounds are welcome.

Thank you very much.
Christophe
