Applying patches from KDE's qt-copy since their update to 4.5.1 has fixed the 
blank menu, popups and partial borders issues.  I don't know if *all* of them 
are needed but I do know that at least two of them are (958945 fixed the 
border and the error popups but not the blank menu or the mouse-over popups).  
See:

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/qt-copy/src/?view=log

I applied 958407, 958945, 967426 and 971295

It might be good to get those added to x11/qt4-libs.
