AFAIK the standalone engage is not supposed to be used with e17. Transparency definitely does not work as e17 uses a different mechanism for it's background so that fake transparency does not work. This is the same thing why you can't get a transparent eterm. There is a engage module which should provide what you are looking for, however it's compilation failed for me last time and I did not have time to investigate.
