Uma vez que todas as respostas fornecidas até agora são direcionadas apenas ao Windows, mas certamente também há uma demanda para fazer isso no X11 com um gerenciador de janelas compostas, para referência eu posto meu código de exemplo aqui (também para ser encontrado em https://github.com/datenwolf /codesamples/blob/master/samples/OpenGL/x11argb_opengl/x11argb_opengl.c

O principal truque é obter o FBConfig certo. Você precisa solicitar um canal alfa e testar o associado XRenderPictFormat
quanto à presença de uma máscara alfa.
