Thanks for you effort, Aaron, but unfortunately this bug is not fixed :(
I'll attach two new screenshots which i made after your "fix".

Buttons, now with half black background

This time the buttons background appears half black, half transparent.

Kicker which is almost completely non-transparent

Here most of kicker is non-transparent. The blue parts in the screenshot are my
real desktop background. all blue (transparent) parts in this screenshot are
parts, not occupied by an applet. maybe this information is useful? so it seems
that "free" space in kicker is not affected by this bug.

well, thomas, i don't know what to say. i can not reproduce this problem, and it's hard to debug something i can't reproduce. buttons should be painting the correct background.

but as you note it seems to be affecting applets as well which are a completely different matter. can you attach your kickerrc to this bug report please? thanks.

My kickerrc

This is the kickerrc. But be aware: I also see this bug with a different user
with a fresh ~/.kde, so i doubt that it's a problem in the configuration file
:(
