White background in window, getting desperate!

I don't get it white. I get the window drawn with no background (or a completely transparent background, depending on how you want to describe it) until the event loop draws the window.

I really don't think this is a Qt problem, but more like how the OS handles Windows.

[This is under WinXP 32-bit]

Interesting, thanks for the input.

So, it does seem to be platform-specific and even Windows-version specific. I'd be interested to know if it's Vista x64 only. I doubt that it is worth spending more time on this issue if the problem is limited to this platform.

Cheers,
