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/

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