Beautifying the nocover image in the currenttrack applet

[Nikolaj Hald Nielsen]

Yeah, there seem to be an issue with several of these borders
sometimes being painted on top of each other. I have not had time to
look into it yet, but my guess would be that we somehow cache the
image with the border and then re-apply the border and cache it
again...
