fast-user-switch-applet does not honor .gtkrc-2.0

[toobuntu]

Binary package hint: fast-user-switch-applet

With a fully up to date Hardy as of 19-Apr-2008, in order to change the color of the text displayed in my gnome-panels, I use a custom .gtkrc-2.0. Seems that fast-user-switch-applet is the only one that does not honor the GTK customization, and continues to display text in black instead of #00ff00 (bright green) as specified in .gtkrc-2.0.
