You have good points that surely make sense; but the result surely
makes me cringe.  I'm pretty sure its not just a 'I resist change'
feeling either.
I do disagree about the point that giving them a darker background is
giving them MORE focus; my experience is that people are drawn to the
lighter parts. And since the buttons are left aligned (start of
dialog) they need to loose focus a little.

Lets see what the feedback will be after the beta. I gave you my
honest opinion; use it like you see fit :)

ps. I updated my kde yesterday; but I'll update again soon to see if
the color painting is fixed.  Looking at the commit date of the linked
file, I doubt it.
