wrong textcolor in tooltip of gtk apps

[Sandra Karuving]

i have set my tooltips background to black, tooltip text to white. after enabling it works for gtk apps. now i restart my computer. after this, in gtk apps, the tooltips are a black background with black text.

recreate:
1. open systemsettings color prefs
2. set tooltip background to black, tooltip text to white
3. restart computer
4. Open a gtk app like inkscape, chromium and point your mousecursor to a toolbar element

what you get:
a black tooltip with black text

what it should be
black tooltip with white text

workaround:
delete
~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4
~/.kde/share/config/gtkrc
~/.kde/share/config/gtkrc-2.0
and (re)start the gtk app

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The bug is present also when using gtk2-engines-qtcurve.

The workaround described in the bugreport works only for the current session. When logging out and logging in again the bug shows up again.

An effective workaround/solution consists in deleting the [Colors:Tooltip] section from: ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals

This seems to be an issue in other apps (e.g.: meld) when running KDE with the Oxygen theme propagated to GTK (but the other available GTK themes change firefox/thunderbird/etc controls, so I want to stick to the oxygen theme)
