No, the problem is not the style, but something in Konqueror.

UPDATE: I've created a new user and I can't seem to be able to recreate the 
error. Back at my old user, changing the styles does not change the error. 
Don't know, maybe the CSS display error isn't in the style after all.
But I think I'm right about the other CSS thing: [ATTACHMENT] What if I had a 
near-black default background? (don't answer that)
