text color problems with "Comments" label in Edit Image view

[Rob Lifford]

Binary package hint: f-spot

This bug is probably only noticeable when using a dark theme that uses light-text-on-dark background for most controls but dark-on-light for editable controls.

In the Edit Image view, the photo viewer pane appears to use the base[NORMAL] color for its background, but fg[NORMAL] for the GtkLabel "Comment:" that appears next to the GtkEntry for comments on the photo.

In the types of themes I described above, that base[NORMAL] is usually the same or nearly the same as the fg[NORMAL], so you get unreadable light-text-on-light-background.

Solution: always use text[NORMAL] over base[NORMAL].

I was able to work around this in a GTRKC file by targeting like this:

widget "main_window.vbox41.group_vbox.main_hpaned.view_vbox.view_notebook.photo_box.ImageContainer.GtkVBox.GtkEventBox.GtkFrame.GtkVBox.GtkHBox.GtkLabel"

...in case that helps direct the fix in the right place.

Marking invalid as this ought to be on the gnome.org bugzilla instead.
