I installed the Trinity packages on a system where KDE 3.5.10 was installed. I was careful to first manually remove the KDE packages before installing the Trinity packages.
I did not delete any user KDE profiles (~/.kde).
User accounts have the clock configured in the kicker/panel as Plain Clock (text) using the format H:MM a/pm. Font style is Regular.
With some user accounts, the clock font seems to use a shadow or outline. Yet other accounts the font text looks the same as in KDE 3.5.10 with no shadow or outline.
Shadowing is not enabled in the Desktop configuration options.
While not running Trinity, I deleted the clock config file from ~/.kde/share/config. Deleting the file did not eliminate the shadow/outline.
Any ideas what might be causing this behavior?
Thanks.
Darrell
Additional info:
When I enable the date and day of week, that part of the clock display does not contain a shadow or outline. Only the time portion of the display.
I can toggle between Trinity and KDE and the outline/shadow appears only in Trinity.

The problem is caused by enabling Transparency in the Panel configuration: Appearance, Panel Background, Enable Transparency.
When Transparency is enabled, the clock font then displays with an outline/shadow.
This does not happen in KDE. I can toggle Transparency in either mode in KDE and the clock font remains normal.
Seems like a bug, but I'd like confirmation before filing a report in the bugzilla.

The shadow is present to improve legibility with the transparent panel. My suggestion would be to add a separate radio button configuration option to control the shadow with options enable/disable/auto.

Was this added in Trinity 3.5.11/12? Otherwise I'm confused why this does not happen in KDE.
If this is a Trinity mod then I'll submit a bug report to add a config option to restore the original behavior.

Perhaps this should be only set when the "for transparency" appearance setting for the taskbar is set, which is also when there is an outline on the fonts of the taskbar to improve legibility.

right click on the clock, choose configure clock, you can match the colour of the shadow to the background and it will eliminate the shadow.
If you have any questions please feel free to post again or email me.
Good luck,

Yup, I discovered that workaround. :) Or vice-versa, change the Transparency Tint color to that of the clock font.
Also, don't use Transparency, which is why some user accounts saw the problem and some did not. Not all accounts use Transparency.
All doable, but chintzy. :)
I'll file a bug report to restore the original KDE behavior with a configuration option.
