Bug 10205

Very bad display colors and behaviour when using default Mageia Oxygen settings (style, theme, window decorations, icons, etc.) in KDE system configuration. Changing the Oxygen settings to lower configs, higher, different effects, other color schemes, did not seem to make it better (or worse).

Only when changing to a different application-style, the problem almost entirely went away... EXCEPT in 3 locations (maybe more, but haven't seen yet). 
Since I have tried many distros on this config. i never had any problems with my display, resolution colors or whatever. I decided to start making screenshots, also, because KDE had not popped up a crash report a single time.... Which was also unusual for me (Mageia ran brilliantly without ANY crash reports yet, or a single problem on KDE, which was new for me... there is always one thing that needs fixing on this laptop, but they are getting predictable.. (KDE clock still shows LOCAL time instead of UTC!!!)

Anyway, i just finished making about 30 screenshots in different setups and bla bla of the problem, AND when I closed the last window, this reporter shows up!!!!

HOORAH!!!! I was not sure yet how i was going too make a manual bug report, since never needed to in KDE... always popped up!!! So you even made a nice crash for me. It defenitly helps me save some time!!! Thanks!!! 

So i really hope i can fix this problem/bug, but really not sure what exactly is causing it...

Switching to a different style seems to help alot, and switching back to the oygen style makes it reappear.

Some performance settings for animations, icons, desktop effects, etc. slightly reduces the problem, but the style change (in application appearance in kde system settings) have a much bigger impact... But whatever style I chose, in 3 places it still shows, which hopefully the pictures will show better... (if i can upload those after this step... I HOPE!!!) edit: yes i believe i can!

Thanks for distro, had alot of fun with it since release, and you even created a useful problem for me!!! Was almost bored and was afraid KDE forgot about Conky or something,... ;)

Ciao Tim

How reproducible:

not. crash 
only happened once. after few hours of settings changing, rebooting, making pictures, updating etc. trying to get rid of the ugly colors and glproblem.

Steps o Reproduce:

the problem still there while i am typing this. i eventually switched application style and the artifacts disappeared, and when switching back to oxygen, they reappear... in 3 places they artifacts are persistent thoitugh thru all styles.... made a few pics to show... Indicated below as major bug, since it  hurts my eyes very much... its very ugly... and bad for my display i guess in the long run... BUT applications still work...

1. switch style in application styles KDE settings manager
