Well actually, this is an issue: in the current oxygen plasma theme, the 
background's border sizes of applet and dialog's background are different, 
because the applet's border includes shadows, and the dialog's border doesn't. 
So we would need 2 different extenderItem backgrounds to fit correctly in both 
applet and dialog. Or the dialog and applet background border have to be made 
the same. 
Hmm, actually, dialogs are always masked anyway, so the dialog's background 
svg can have the same border size as applet, since the excess part of the 
border will get masked away anyway. That approach might work... I'll just need 
some help from Pinheiro to fix the svg part of this.
