A little more work shows that the problem is not raising.

Current situation:

When adding a system tray to an already existing panel, or using Qt 4.4.0, 
everything works as expected.

When loading plasma using Qt 4.4.1 with a system tray on the panel, the icons 
don't appear, although space is reserved for them.

Setting the autoFillBackground properties (and setting different 
backgroundRoles) on SystemTrayWidget and SystemTrayContainer shows that the 
SystemTrayWidget appears on top of the panel, and a SystemTrayContainer 
appears on top of that for each icon that should be there.  It's just the 
icons themselves that don't display.

At this point, I'm stuck.  The changelog for 4.4.1 is at 
<http://trolltech.com/developer/resources/notes/changes/changes-4.4.1>.  A fix 
about QX11Embed is mentioned:
[207800] Fixed a regression from 4.3 to 4.4 where putting a
      QX11EmbedContainer into a QWidgetStack would case the container
      stay visible permanently.
However, qt-copy shows no changed between 4.4.0 and 4.4.1 to 
src/gui/kernel/qx11embed_x11.*

Anyone any clue?
