Yup, setting color on the top level label widget, which is  
inside a very simple layout in the applet, using the 
inherited method from QWidget.

Gave it a try, and it exhibits the same buggy behavior.  I 
have now compiled and tested the applet on two separate 
machines (my work machine and my home machine) and it does 
the same thing both places.  However, they are both using 
up-to-date Gentoo KDE 3.4.1 ("monolithic") emerges, so I 
can't rule out that it's something strange in the Gentoo 
portage version, though as far as I know, the maintainers 
really don't touch the KDE sources. 
 
Could somebody else using a different distro compile and 
test and see if the same color issue happens there? 
 
I'm tempted to code up a *very* basic applet consisting of 
nothing but a label and a config dialog to change it's 
color and see if it does the same thing...
