Let me correct the statement from Richard at the top;  using the inactive 
color palette for whole applications is broken by design.
There are lots of reasons for this, for example the window managers don't 
allow us to group windows together to mark them as a group.  Which is 
needed so the dockwidget (/helper window) is not marked as deactivated 
when focus moves to the mainwindow.

For that reason alone Oxygen doesn't have a chance to do this correctly.

As I stated in another thread; this stuff was designed to do things like 
change the selection color. And if you use it differently you can run 
into problems. If these problems are actual bugs is then open for 
interpretation :)
