  It's the gtk-qt theme engine.  It seems to somehow be messing up a
bunch of colours.  Similar sort of bugs are being filed about Eclipse:

   https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=112811

  I haven't figured it out yet, but I thought I'd give you some tips
about where the problem is. :)  Note that gtk-qt doesn't seem to be
maintained, so it may be hard to reproduce even if you get this theme
engine.  SuSE seems to be shipping some version of gtk-qt based on a
CVS snapshot.
