QWS used to have a line to change the composite mode from SourceOver
to Source for the top level widget. This wasn't used with QPA and I
removed the internal DontSetCompositionMode in qtbase. It turns out that
the QWS way is the most efficient one to initialize the background of
the widget.
The alternative is to have the QPlatformBackingStore::beginPaint
always clear the entire to be painted area and then paint the background
of the widget. The difference of painting each pixel once or twice is
noticable on embedded platforms and in the range of one to two fps.
Reproduce the issue with:
echo "QWidget {background: transparent}" > style.css
./examples/widgets/wiggly/wiggly -stylesheet style.css
