For what it's worth, this is probably the only way to get rid of the black 
borders too. I had a little go at trying to do setMask on SystemTrayWidget, 
but renderWidget can't be used (successfully) with QX11Container so I 
couldn't automatically calculate the appropriate masking. If it's a child of 
the top-level plasma window, setting the palette's background to transparent 
should make all those troubles go away too.
