Konsole has a different way to handle color schemes now, apparently they forgot 
to provide some migration (kconf_update) code. :-(

You can set a color scheme in the preferences.

That's implemented at least in the trunk (future 4.1), probably also in 4.0.2 
(but I haven't checked).

There's an old-style menu available. In the desktop toolbox (the cashew nut 
icon at the top right of the screen), choose "Add applet" and 
drag "Applications Launcher Menu" (as opposed to just "Applications Launcher", 
which is the new-style Kickoff) to the panel, and delete the Kickoff button. (I 
wonder if that shouldn't be the default. I don't like the new-style Kickoff 
menu either.)
