Here's the code (/usr/lib/hildon-desktop/hw_home_applet_c.py):

Code:
#! /usr/bin/env python

from math import pi
import cairo
import gtk
import hildondesktop

class hw_home_applet_c(hildondesktop.HomePluginItem):
    '''
    __gsignals__ = {
        'realize' : 'override',
        'expose-event' : 'override',
        }
    '''
    def __init__(s):
        hildondesktop.HomePluginItem.__init__(s)
        pb = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file('/home/user/src/demos/images/gnome-gimp.png')
        i = gtk.Image()
        s.set_size_request(90,90)
        i.set_from_pixbuf(pb)
        i.show_all()
        s.add(i)

    def do_expose_event(s, e):
        a = e.area
        cr = s.window.cairo_create()
        cr.arc(a.width/2,a.height/2,a.width/2,0,2*pi)
        cr.set_source_rgba(1.0,0.0,0.0,0.625)
        cr.fill()
        hildondesktop.HomePluginItem.do_expose_event(s,e)

    def do_realize(s):
        scn = s.get_screen()
        cm = scn.get_rgba_colormap()
        s.set_colormap(scn.get_rgba_colormap())
        s.set_app_paintable(True)
        hildondesktop.HomePluginItem.do_realize(s)

hd_plugin_type = hw_home_applet_c

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import gobject
    gobject.type_register(hd_plugin_type)
    obj = gobject.new(hd_plugin_type, plugin_id='plugin_id')
    obj.show_all()
    gtk.main()
Here's the desktop file (/usr/share/applications/hildon-home/hw_home_applet_c.desktop):

Code:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=hw_home_applet_c
Comment=Description of the Hello World Home Applet c
Type=python
X-Path=hw_home_applet_c.py
But you're gonna have to BYOIP (Bring Your Own Image Path).

Oh, and don't forget to do this if you haven't already done so:

Code:
apt-get install python-hildondesktop hildon-desktop-python-loader
Further information can be found here and here.

You forgot to mention "python-cairo" above

Also see these two links:

For important notes when mixing python-hildondesktop and python-cairo.

I've just uploaded a project to http://gitorious.org/python-hildonhomepluginitem to ease creating semi-transparent home applets. It won't do everything yet, but I intend it to be built up it into a base for most common styles of home applets, and make the level of transparency and most of the other styling optional/selectable.

Please consider updating it to support what you want if you need a transparent applet, or file a bug for what knobs you'd like to see on it.
