--- Comment #3 from Jack Spaar jspaar@users.sourceforge.net 2008-09-16 19:20:11 EDT --- Created an attachment (id=316915) --> (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=316915) screenshot of color picker appearing blacked-out
Fair enough -- the screenshot tells the story better than I can. If you could reassign to a more likely component that would be great -- I have no clue.
But checking the theme I see another symptom of the same thing:
Going to System-preferences->look and feel->appearance shows "Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon', and then shows a Custom theme with Nodoka controls, normal looking colors, nodoka window border, Fedora icons, Bluecurve pointer. (This is all default from the livecd, I don't have any prefs set.)
Then when I try to change appearence pref->theme->customize->colors->input boxes->background, the color picker itself appears *all black* unless I choose an area not on the outer ring -- OR if I tab to a different input element OR if the window gets defocussed (by choosing Applications menu, e.g.). Just like with the dialog button backgrounds.
