FS#513 - systray background not transparent

The "caw" panel/bar depends on xcb and xpyb and does support fake transparency 
for the system tray icons. Even when run within awesome. So why should awesome not be 
able to do this?

Well, we can make do this, too. We just have to set each wibox' background to be the 
wallpaper. However, when the wibox is repainted, this would make the wallpaper 
"flicker through". No idea how other tray providers handle this, but it is ugly.
The more proper way that is specified by the system tray specifications involves the 
RENDER and DAMAGE extensions and would need a way more complicated code. Just setting the 
background image of the system tray "container window" isn't easy either, 
because we'd then have to get the wallpaper and cut out the correct part of it. Nothing 
of this sounds like a terrible good approach to me.
