I'm running Ubuntu Edgy w/ Gnome desktop: is there any way to get transparent windows without installing Beryl or Compiz? I really just want that one feature...

I have an NTFS hard drive with a bunch of music on it. Some of the songs have random characters which my Debian box doesn't like (u+umlaut is being converted to an underscore). Ideally I would like it to recognize the characters and display them as they are currently, but I've been searching and I haven't found a good solution to that. Right now I'm about to rename all the files with weird characters, but I figured I'd run it by SH/SC first to see if anyone has a better, simpler suggestion. It's about 100 files/folders that I'd have to rename, so if anyone has a less time consuming option please fire away.
