Hello!

Sorry for my lateness but I was making some experiments with KDE. It happens to me too, after 2 or 3 hours of use. Not only pop ups pr message boxes are black, but every window. Plasma and wallpaper are fine.
I'm using KDE 4.9, Fedora 18 64-bits, and as somebody say, may be it is related with Intel chipset, because my netbook is an Intel one.

Is there a bug filed for this issue?

Cheers, thanks
Lailah

I wouldn't know where to file the bug, or against what.

I guess it is in Fedora Bugs or in KDE Bugzilla. Against KDE Desktop or Plasma.

If I'm wrong, somebody can correct me.

Remember that problem I had, with unrelieved black in pop-up windows or un-minimized applications?

Well, if you remember: on Saturday, April 27, the kernel development team pushed a new version of the kernel at that time. They've pushed one since then, so I am using version 3.8.9.200.

Since the version immediately before that, I have not had one single problem with pop-up windows going black (or with KDE windows going transparent, which was a change in KDE's behavior from all-black to transparent several months ago).

This convinces me that the kernel, or any of a number of packages that accompany it, was at fault--and somewhere in the development process, something the kernel development team did for the last version before the current one, solved the problem with unrelieved black windows when running on Intel processors.

Naturally if this happens again, I'll be back. But now I know where to file the bug against: the kernel, or one of its associated packages.
