Too bad my theory on why I have a slew of different machines that render badly for non-root users of KDE, yet render correctly for root remains. I am at a loss. And have a slew of upset users. William Stephenson was helping me with suggestions. But no solution has been found.
At one place I worked, we had a teddy bear that did the debugging for us. When you had a difficult bug, you sat the teddy where he could see both you and the screen and then explained to him exactly what was happening and why all the hypothetical explanations failed. He usually solved the problems quite quickly, just by staring at you intensely at the right moment.
You could try explaining it all to us in excruciating detail if you like ...

I have an earlier thread on this list, and the opensuse-kde list (August 2010).
Here is what I first reported:
For regular KDE users, many screen components are not drawn. They are black.
I had ugly black KDE menues with several openSUSE 11.3 installes after upgrades from 11.2. All are caused by pulling some kde*upstream* packages in. Compare the results of the following two rpm calls: rpm -qa \*kde\*open\* and rpm -qa \*kde\*upstream\* If the last command reported any packages I had the KDE funeral theme installed.
