Strange transparent painting behaviour

[naresh]

I'm trying to do my own tooltips for my QTreeView, and i've created my own tooltip basing on Qt4 source... I want it to have transparent background becouse in future i want it to have inregular shape image background (or standard rectangle bg). So atm i'm trying to draw standard rectangle bg but transparent (simply dont paint background just content). Here is some code

void rosterWidget::paintToolTip(const QModelIndex &idx, const QPoint &pos, QWidget *w) // JUST SHOW TOOLTIP
{
	if(rosterTipLabel::instance && rosterTipLabel::instance->index()==idx)
		return;
 
	int scr;
	if (QApplication::desktop()->isVirtualDesktop())
		scr = QApplication::desktop()->screenNumber(pos);
	else
		scr = QApplication::desktop()->screenNumber(w);
 
	QPoint p = pos;
	p += QPoint(2,
#ifdef Q_WS_WIN
			24
#else
			16
#endif
	);
 
	rosterTipLabel *label=new rosterTipLabel(idx,QApplication::desktop()->screen(scr));
	label->move(p);
	label->show();
}

void rosterWidget::paintToolTip(const QModelIndex &idx, const QPoint &pos, QWidget *w) // JUST SHOW TOOLTIP
{
	if(rosterTipLabel::instance && rosterTipLabel::instance->index()==idx)
		return;

	int scr;
	if (QApplication::desktop()->isVirtualDesktop())
		scr = QApplication::desktop()->screenNumber(pos);
	else
		scr = QApplication::desktop()->screenNumber(w);

	QPoint p = pos;
	p += QPoint(2,
#ifdef Q_WS_WIN
			24
#else
			16
#endif
	);

	rosterTipLabel *label=new rosterTipLabel(idx,QApplication::desktop()->screen(scr));
	label->move(p);
	label->show();
}

In thumbnail it seems that it is a bit transparent (becouse as a background i can see part of my screen). With code i posted background for my tip paints whole black... I have no more ideas what to do... I've read http://doc.trolltech.com/qq/qq16-background.html but i think i didn't understand it well

//EDIT
I forgot to add that im using Qt 4.1.1 version
