Karmic 9.10: plasma problem with xrdp (was: Karmic 9.10: xrdp weird colors)

[Mirto Silvio Busico]

Hi all,

I've tracked down the problem.

xrdp installs fine in kubuntu 9.10 and works well out of the box.

There are visualizations problems:

    * the windows decotations are unreadable; workaround use keramic
      windows decoration: the border is still a mess but the title is
      readable
    * the k menu is nureadable (white text on white background);
      workaround switch to the classic style
    * the panel on the bottom of the screen is a mess: I can see only
      the icons


It seems that the couple xrdp/plasma cannot waork if plasma uses gradients.

Anyone knows a plasma theme (or how to create a plasma theme) that uses 
solid colors?


Thanks
    Mirto
