Konqueror has changed again over night.
We have black text on black background - easy to read.
Several days ago we had this problem after a reboot at noon that made most our
systems unusable. The Next morning at 5:15 we came in to fix problem and
everything worked fine. Friday evening everything worked fine, Saturday 6
AM the black back ground is back.
The only thing that had been changed is that YUM updated the Kernel, and Open
office 3.1 that we quit using last year.
The back ground and color on Konqueror is also not working.
Looked at logs to see if anyone had logged in from outside - nothing was
found.
Any Ideas as to how this may happen.
What hardware are you on? Specifically, what graphics chipsets and
drivers do you have? If you have a variety of hardware on different
systems, do they all demonstrate the same behavior or are some doing
different things?
KDE 3.5 or so had a couple of redraw quirks with open-source drivers --
some turned up in Konqueror and others in menus and panels. Some of the
problems were unique to ATI open-source drivers/hardware combinations
and some were unique to certain builds of the nVidia drivers. I suspect
you might be running into one of the magic combinations that can cause
this, but I'm not sure (been a while since KDE3 where I work).
Anyway, with some more system information we might be able to research
the situation a bit better.
