One way to do this is that we can launch the transparent widget as a separate window then it works. But can we do it having child and parent? Or is there some missing functionality in Qt.

I believe whether the events get delivered through transparent areas is 
windowing system dependent, and out of Qt's control. You can try using 
setMask() in addition to translucent background to mask out the 
completely transparent areas, I think the events are more likely to be 
delivered to the background widget in that case.
