Well, it is going to be difficult to match KDE system colours to
GTK+ and then to wxWidgets without problems, but the current
default is that the text foregrund colour of all DCs in wxWidgets
is black - always. Obviously, there are places and themes, where
this is wrong. This also begs the question if we should fix that
for wxStatusBar only or for which other windows/widgets/controls?
