I do something like this in my app, except without the shaped windows. I have a fixed containing a lot of eventboxes, then each eventbox containing a vbox with my contents. I don't animate programatically much, but I do have the eventboxes draggable with the mouse. It seems to work OK (even on win32!) and there's no visible flicker.
