Ruler no longer uses theme colors to draw ticks and labels (r11330)

[su_v]

The refactored code for the rulers no longer uses colors from the current gtk theme but instead always draws ticks and labels in black. This reduces the readability (or usability) of the rulers with dark themes:

The attached screenshots show comparisons of Dia 0.97.2, GIMP 2.8.0, Inkscape 0.48.3.1 and Inkscape 0.48+devel >= r11330 with dark gtk themes.

AFAICT based on tests with archived builds, the change was introduced in revision 11330 ("cairo rendering in ruler"):

Confirmed in r11397 with GNOME High Contrast (Inverse) theme

Should be fixed in r11398. Please let me know if the problem persists.
