    Hello all,

    Apologies if this belongs on the user-kde list, but I'm not at all sure that
    it's isolated to KDE -- that's just where I've seen it.

    I'm running Debian Sid, and I have an odd problem with transparencies
    becoming color-distorted (reversed?) in KDE. To be more precise, when I
    highlight an icon, either by expanding a "mouse box" over it, or
    right-clicking it, the colors become quite distorted -- lots of orange, on
    blue icons. This is not the result of a recent upgrade -- I've had the
    problem since I installed Unstable about a month ago, but now I've pretty
    much exhausted my ability to find an answer in archives/google.

    As a further clue, when I go to the "menu effects" section of the style menu
    in the KDE control panel, I find that "Software Tint" and "Software Blend"
    will both lead to the same distortion, while "Xrender Blend" does not.

    As a test, I ran Knoppix 3.4 on my machine, and this problem did not occur.
    When I copied over the XF86Config-4 from Knoppix, though, I still had the
    problem. Thus I doubt it's a configuration error.

    In case it helps, though, here are my lspci output and my XF86Config-4:
