           Summary: Colorschemes is not applied to gtk programs
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.6
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: thomasdn at gmail.com


Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

I have made a custom colorscheme in KDE by going to System settings > Common
Appearance... > Application Apearance > Colors.
It is a nice and dark scheme that is comfortable to look at.
I have made most backgrounds dark and text colors bright.
The problem, however, is that when I use non-KDE programs the colors does not
work right.

One extremely annoying bug is that appearently, color is not applied to text
color in menus, however, it IS applied to background in menus.  Thus, text in
menus in non-KDE programs such as Firefox, Dia, Wireshark, etc. becomes
unreadable: it is black on a dark background. It should be bright on a dark
background as defined in the colorscheme.

Allow me to illustrate with screendumps:

gtk program with black text in menus:

This is how it ought to look:
KDE program with white text in menus:

Here is my settings:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1: Create a color scheme with dark background colors and light foreground text
colors.
2: Select the color scheme
3: Go to GTK+ Appearance in system settings and select Use my KDE fonts in GTK
appilcations as well as widget style: QtCurve
4: Start a KDE program like Kate and look in the menus.
5: Start a GTK program like Firefox and look in the menus.



Actual Results:  
Text in menus in KDE program is readable and white on black as expected.
Text in menus in GTK program, however, is unreadable and black on black.

Expected Results:  
GTK program should be colored as the KDE program.
