Black menu backgrounds in GTK apps after upgrading to -current


I used slackpkg to upgrade pretty much everything except the kernel and kernel headers to -current two nights ago. Other than having to install cairo and glib2 for Firefox, everything went rather smoothly. However, I've noticed that some GTK apps have black backgrounds on their menus. (Rolling over the items reverses the text so I can still use them thankfully.) It's not every GTK app nor even every menu on the affected apps. For example, GIMP has every menu with a black background, whereas Firefox only has the save menu affected, and aMule has the context menu affected. I'm using gtk-qt-engine v0.6. I tried reinstalling that, but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

You need a patch against gtk-qt-engine.

Apply that, then rebuild and reinstall gtk-qt-engine.
