#176 Area around buttons is dark
The rectangular area that I think is set to
transparent in the button bitmap, surrounding the
button itself, is visible and very dark. Background
is not visible, or if it is, the area is so dark that
it cannot be distinguished from a solid color.
This happens with milk theme and milk buttons,
today's cvs. kde 3.5.2, gcc 4.1.1, etc
All stable gentoo stuff.

does this happen with ALL applications or only with
certain ones (especially gtk ones, firefox, gimp, etc.)
if you're not sure on this, make sure you're not using the
gtk-qt gkt style (there's probably a section for this in
kcontrol)

All qt applications I can remember now (that pc is not the
one I'm using now) suffer the problem including, for
example, the kde control center.
I do use gtk-qt but I can't honestly remember if the gtk
applications have the problem as I use only a few.
Maybe I should try deleting the configuration files and
re-configure baghira, to see if something specific triggers
this behaviour. I'll do it tomorrow if I remember it.

Bingo!
It happens if I un-check "sink groupboxes".
I wouldn't un-check them, but radio button labels don't seem
to get the correct background value (it doesn't properly
darken), so I do. This comment is probably another
bugreport, let me know if I should open a new one for this
radio buttons with sink issue.
The config with the problem

does it only happen to buttons in a groupbox?
the radiobutton error is rather a problem with the kstyle
preview widget wich is some kind of fake. common radios
should get the proper background as well as any other
widget as long as the developer did not explicitly set the
widgets palette to e.g. the main widget palette or fakes
the position (widgets inherit the parents palette, so if
you parent a widget to e.g. the main widget put hack its
position to appear on top of a groupbox, qt3 is pretty
much f*** - qt4 does a better job on this)

It happens with all buttons, even clickable table headers,
comboboxes and so on. You should be able to test it using
the config file I attached.
