Doesn't the same hold true for the standard background? 

Some explanation: I've enabled the standard background for smaller (Horizontal 
and Vertical) FormFactors. After changing formfactor, I'm experiencing 
repainting issues. When changing from Planar to Horizontal, the background 
first is only painted in the area contentRect area, and fully painted on 
hover. After deleting, again only the new contentRect is being painted, 
leaving artifacts. Try the battery applet to see what I'm talking about.

I've hacked around a bit in applet.cpp, trying to resolve that, but it looks 
like the code is not becoming more beautiful ... 

Conceptually, the background might better be implemented as a separate 
QGraphicsItem below the actual applet, right?
