Yes this is caused by this setting but it should not. It seems

there are several oddities related to this. i posted earlier a screenshot of the lacie
lightscribe labeler which had foreground and background both black unless that option is
unchecked. oddly, unchecking it changed numerous attributes of both non-tde and tde
applications -- and rechecking it rebroke the things that were broken, but did not repair
the things it itself broke. in particular, menu and icon text got tiny.
weird.

Only I do not see that he ever got a reply, nor do I see any fix or
work-around for the problem.
If I shorten up the search for just "color is not known to server", I
see a lot more hits for what seems to be the same problem. But, still,
I see no fixes or work-arounds (yet).
I use `display` A LOT in desktop objects and I really need this fixed or
circumvented.
"display" shows amarok_rocks.jpg here without problems
(R14.0.0). There
has to be a difference in settings. Just a shot into the dark: Can you
have a look in
Settings>Appearance&Themes>Colors
if you have checked or un-checked "Apply colors to non-TDE applications"?
Mine is un-checked.
