this isn't specific to Plasma::Svg, but applicable to any pixmap painting of 
this type.

what you can do is paint the Svg to a temporary pixmap, and then paint over it 
using a colour the appropriate alpha value. see QPainter::setCompositioMode 
for how to set how paint operations like this get combined.

then you paint that temporary pixmap onto your applet.

you can also call setOpacity on the QPainter directly, but that can *very* 
slow and that above method is usually faster, and at worst the same speed.

if you can describe your use case in more detail, we may be able to offer more 
specific directions (e.g. perhaps PaintUtils::transition would work for you, 
but that highly depends on what you are trying to do).
