--- Comment #6 from Johannes wine@sagagames.de --- My apologies, there is indeed a white background on regular Windows as well. I'm not sure what I did different the last time I tested it.
However, there is still a difference (see attached screenshot) that might be somewhat relevant. The upper part of the screenshot is Wine 2.4, the lower part Windows 7. I think Wine applies transparency to a few pixels there (see the last two icons), while Windows doesn't.
