Oh, ok. I misundersood what 'setDrawsBackground' does, but it looks like maybe
it's supposed to be deprecated? Adium says:

        if ([self respondsToSelector:@selector(setBackgroundColor:)]) {
                //As of Safari 3.0, we must call setBackgroundColor: to make
the webview transparent
                [self setBackgroundColor:(flag ? [NSColor clearColor] :
[NSColor whiteColor])];

        } else {
                [self setDrawsBackground:!flag];
        }

Yeah! http://pidgin.im/~seanegan/webkit11.png
