"display" shows amarok_rocks.jpg here without problems

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.
Yes this is caused by this setting but it should not. It seems
that /opt/trinity/share/apps/tdedisplay/app-defaults is sourced to xrdb
without replacing color definitions with actual values which should be
taken from tde color schemes.
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.
Yep. Apparently this settings does a lot more than just "Apply colors".
Font size changes on some apps, save/cancel buttons swapped on gtk save
dialogs, etc... It clearly should not be located under "colors".
