we probably don't need to replace one temporary solution with another. what's 
needed is for the panel containment to do proper background painting as per 
the FIXME in plasma/containments/panel.cpp =)

it should probably work a lot like the background painting in applets, with 
border, corner and content pieces that get painted. we won't get away with 
just one svg that gets stretched out.

the good news is that one can probably just copy 
Applet::Private::paintBackground directly into PanelContainment and then edit 
it so that it doesn't paint the edges that are flush with the screen edge.

then one could simply copy widgets/background.svg to 
widgets/panel-background.svg and be done.

/me heads off to hack.
