Running FC4 with KDE 3.4.2
This machine is an upgrade from FC3. In many menus, small, translucent
vertical colored bars appear over individual letters that are underlined in
menus, It first appeared everywhere after the upgrade, including in Kmenu
and most programs and even the login screen. Since then, they've
disappeared from most of the above, but they still linger in some programs
and on the login screen. Unfortunately, I have no idea what changed. For a
screen grab, you can look here:

I logged into Gnome yesterday, and the problem persisted in a couple of
programs (Kyum is one for example). I've tried all the items in the desktop
configuration, changing styles, widgets, etc. I looked at the xorg conf
file for anything obvious. I've posted this over at KDE-Redhat but no one
there is getting it, save one individual who got rid of it by playing with
his widget settings.
Anyone else getting this?

I saw this before on another system. I don't recall the solution, but it may
have had something to do with the window style or decorations. Make sure the
window style and window decorations you select are built against your version
of kde. I thought they should be ABI compatable, but I have had problems in
the past. Start by changing to a standard style distributed with kde (i.e.
bluecurve), if that works, rebuild your style, or find an updated package.
