I quoted the relevant code in comment #11 (including the link to the upstream
repo). To me this looks like all color handling for this is done in the Gtk
classes; no idea what would happen if this all of a sudden would use the
QWidget::palette(). AFAIK Gtk themes use a whole lot of auxiliary files for
things like colors; would this integrate with just using the
QWidget::palette()? Or would single widgets just stick out like a sore thumb? I
don't know.

AFAICS we simply use the upstream code verbatim without any patch, and the
change log shows exclusively openSUSE community members.

To me this looks like we don't have that much in-house expertise, probably in
particular not with the grey area where Qt meets Gtk.

Is it possible to hammer it into shape? 
Probably; after all, it's just software.

Will it break stuff? 
Very likely.


Is it worth it? 
I don't think so. This is about optimizing a pathological case that will
hopefully never happen.
