Rekonq bug - invisible menus

Version:           0.6.1 (using KDE 4.5.2) 
OS:                Linux

The menu is opened and functional, but invisible. Only the shadows are shown.
I've not seen this bug outside Rekonq. A screenshot:
http://imagebin.ca/view/uQI2UzvU.html

Rekonq 0.6.1
KDE SC 4.5.2
Mesa 7.9~git20100924
xserver-xorg-video-intel 2.1.12

Reproducible: Sometimes
Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2010-10-25 08:41:56 UTC
Does rekonq use graphicssystem -raster or did you set it?

> Does rekonq use graphicssystem -raster or did you set it?

Yes, it does. Is it the problem?
Comment 3 Csanád Tóth 2010-10-25 09:21:05 UTC
I've started Rekonq with "--graphicssystem native", and the problem is gone.
Comment 4 Csanád Tóth 2010-10-25 09:31:41 UTC
I'm not alone with this problem.

Rekonq's default graphicssystem is raster. Can I switch back permanently to native?

    Remove raster graphics system by default.
    
    This is the cause of some problems with UI (eg: contextual menus not shown),
    probably related to some HW/driver combinations

I can confirm that the bug is fixed in Kubuntu 11.04 with KDE 4.6.3, Qt 4.7.2, and xf86-video-intel 2.14.0.
