Thanks.  I wasn't sure if there was a reason for the difference, so that's why 
I asked instead of just committing the change.

Agreed that the one pixel bug needs to be fixed and the question was not 
intended to skirt around that need.  I just wasn't sure if the absence of a 
setPassivePopup(true) in the Battery applet was intentional or not, thus the 
reason for the question.  I understand now that it was intentional, thanks.

Regarding the visual bug when setPassivePopup(true) is not used, the difference 
seemed to be just one window flag: Qt::X11BypassWindowManagerHint

I confess my understanding is too limited to figure out why this causes the 
problem.

Thanks much,
Andrew (Jamboarder) Lake
