      Description

      When using QBackingStore to render raster in QWindow on Linux it is enough to add to constructor of child class of QWindow (as described in docs https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwindow.html#setFormat) :

      {
   ...

   QSurfaceFormat fmt = format(); 
   fmt.setAlphaBufferSize(8); 
   setFormat(fmt);

   create();

   ...
   //new QBackingStore(this)
}

      and background becomes transparent.

      On MacOS with the same code it is filled with gray color.
