Yes, this feature won't be available until X gets it's Composite exention working well enough. The reason is that e17 modules all require transparency. Transparency is needed because 1) for the translucent effects and 2) anti-aliasing. Both of these are important for the thing to not look really ugly. e17 is only a windows manager which means that it doesn't 'know' what is inside you windows, and it can't do transparancy on top of a window if it doesn't know what is inside of that window. Hopefully X's transparency will improve, but for now its quite buggy and pretty slow as well.
