Description
I use a Gajim under KDE 3.5.5a with the standard dark blue theme (because of its high contrast). This color theme uses white text on dark blue background as a standard for all windows. GTK apps are set to follow KDE look&feel, using the gtk-qt-engine. The systray popups for standard KDE/Qt apps (and other GTK apps) use black text on light yellow background. The Gajim systray and roster popups have the same light yellow background, but with the standard system text color, which is white. This makes them unreadable. I have tried to change this in Gajim color settings, but nothing seems to help. All other colors in all windows and menus are correctly set to system colors, including alternate roster background. What's even more surprising the popups in the Options window are displayed correctly (black on light yellow).
I reckon that Gajim is set to use the system font color for systray and roster popups, which the gtk-qt-engine mistakenly translates to the unreadable combination. However I have never observed such behavior in any other application using GTK I run. I have observed 2 different cases: most of them, e.g. GIMP, show popups as KDE apps (black on light yellow), while OpenOffice?.org is using the system colors (white on dark blue).
