OK, I understand the problem now. So background/theme painting is out
of LCL's control - another negative point for wrapping external/native
toolkits I guess.

I can only imagine such "hacks" will inevitably fail somewhere down
the line - or is simply not supported by all widgetsets. Is it just my
imagination, or is there more and more feature being added to LCL
which only works on specific widgetsets (Restricted tab of Object
Inspector). This is really not good news for LCL. :-(
