Hi
I just compiled Emacs for Kubuntu 14..04 running trinity, while emacs runs without problems in KDE4 it fails for trinity the error message is:
undefined color: "WINDOW_FOREGROUND"
I swore I have seen this error before, and it was caused by some trinity package, deinstallation solved the problem, but I don't recall which one it was.
Anybody has an idea? trinity without Emacs sucks
thanks
Uwe Brauer
According to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1043686 you can fix it doing the following I have not tested it.

A workaround is to go to KDE System Settings -> Application Appearance -> Colors -> Options and disable the checkbox for Apply colors to non-KDE4 applications and logout and login again.
Non-KDE apps may not look as pretty, but at least they'll run.

That's a bad solution - this checkbox is unfortunately named, it should be named "apply styles' - it govern not only colors, but also button styles, button placements and fonts in gtk apps
The correct solution is to add following to you .xsession file
( sleep 10 xrdb -all -query|sed -e 's#[A-Z_]*BACKGROUND# gray90#' \ -e 's#[A-Z_]*FOREGROUND# Black#' \ -e 's#[A-Z_]*HIGHLIGHT# White#' \ -e 's#[A-Z_]*LOWLIGHT# Black#'|xrdb -merge ) &

Thanks, I searched the database, I would never have imagined that this was the bug, I was suffering.
