Yes, there is probably a bug. Further research indicates that the text
color is: "Standard Text" which you *can* set where I said, but the
background is not a named KDE color. The background appears to be the
Kicker Panel background color and I can't find anywhere to set this.
Also, there is no color specified in "kickerrc".
I can't reproduce the problem so all I can suggest is that you file a
bug report.
