Even for multi-page plots, like x08? The first is blank but the  
following show up.

Yes, the grey margins appear. Another strange thing if you run example  
x08: The first page is blank and the other pages show up. BUT if you  
press Enter twice fast or the right mouse button the following page  
shows up quickly and then again a blank screen.

You could send me patches which I could try to apply and test. Or you  
can even tell me what I should try to change to get results. I just  
have no time to read the qt documentation to find my way through the  
code and debug.
