Comment 34 for bug 1159430

Note that the theme fix I proposed in #19 above (also present in my ubuntu-themes branch in #20) solves the theme problem in a different way: rather than adding a background-color: transparent rule to NautilusWindow, it removes a more general rule about inheriting background colors. I think I like this better since it's more similar to how the Adwaita styles work. In Adwaita, the Nautilus background transparency doesn't come from a theme rule; it comes from the Nautilus application itself. And I think staying closer to Adwaita will make things more maintainable in the future.

With that said, I haven't thought hard about this, and I don't know why Ambiance's background inheritance rule was added in the first places. I think the ubuntu-themes designers should think about this and decide which theme fix is best.
