ah, with composite disabled, right.
are you using FrameSvg or a qsvgrenderer? with framesvg the opaque version 
should be automatically picked when compositing is disabled, but test it with 
oxygen for now, because air is still not complete and doesn't have the opaque 
version of themes, also only things that end up as top level windows have an 
opaque version, so in this case should be used "dialogs/background" (used in 
things like kickoff) instead of "widgets/background" (used in applets)
