Check out http://home.d04.itscom.net/ath/old/os2/shapewin-en.html Note 
that while osmulti2 used to display perfectly with an ATI card and 
driver, with SNAP and Panorama the face is replaced by the legs at 
times. I guess it is a bit of a hack as the PM doesn't normally support 
irregular shaped windows.
