widgets

Between screenlets, cairo-dock widgets and plasma-widgets. One of them's gotta have this function;

A widget that hovers above everything on the desktop but is completely unaffected by the mouse.

I would use this by making a clock hover above everything and semi transparent. I also want to be able to click on windows underneath the clock.

After some experimentation, the screenlets widgets do not do what I am asking. I can make them float above everything on the screen but I am not able to click on windows underneath them. I need the widget to be COMPLETELY unaffected by the mouse.
