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
