Panel background is unstable

When I installed openSuSE v11.4/KDE on this system some weeks ago, its background
was a tannish grey with a kind of grey horizontal barberpole effect, as
I remember, with black lettering. I do not remember setting specific
colors, and I am unable to find a setting in Configure Desktop/Personal
Settings (formerly System Settings). Some days afterward, I noticed that
the background had become a darker grey (still with black characters), so
that reading the lettering was very difficult or impossible; only the
presence of icons makes this panel useful. I have no idea what caused
the change. Nothing else on the desktop has a black background.



A few days later, the colors returned to their original state, but
another few days later became black again. You can see what this looks
like at <ftp.hashkedim.com/pub/panel1.png>.



I have a second panel at the top of the screen which is, if anything, in
worse condition: most of the vertical height of the "barberpole" is
overlaid with a black strip, so that panel has become totally useless.


I would like to know where, if at all, it is possible to configure text and background colors for the Panel(s), also where such characteristics are stored.And of course, any comments about why this is happening and what to do about it.


What is doing this?
