Wrong background color in systray using composite extensions

It's a focus/redraw issues with the XEMBED stuff in gtkplug/socket. You
can also see it without composite on slow Xserver (I see it with a
remote windows Xserver). In that case it becomes a black square.
I have absolutely no idea how to solve it, or even what is causing it.
Adding _queue_draw () calls does not help. Restarting the panel, or
switching on autohide and then switching it off again, usually fixes the
issue.
