KDE taskbar partially dark gray (Radeon HD 5770)

I wonder if anyone is seeing this? I have a new 'testing' build of
Gentoo using the latest and greatest everything - basic info below. My
card is the Radeon HD 5770. KDE runs but the left third of the taskbar
along the bottom is dark gray. It's working fine, it's just the wrong
color for the first third of the bar.

My resolution is 1920x1080 so I'm guessing there are maybe 800 pixels
or so that are the wrong color.

This does not happen using my previous build based on
xorg-server-1.7.6 and kde-4.3.5. I've got this parallel build of
Gentoo (both stable and ~amd64) so that I can a/b this sort of stuff
more accurately. Same machine, same card.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

If more info is required let me know.

Thanks,
Mark
