Bug#310098: gnome-themes: Simple theme's highlighted text / Firefox menus difficult to read

[inkwire@thegoldenear.org, 310098@bugs.debian.org]

Package: gnome-themes
Version: 2.8.2-3
Severity: major
Debian flavour: testing

Using GNOME's Simple theme, highlighted text has a dark blue background
and retains the black text, which is extremely difficult to read, where-a=
s
other themes change the text to white

Also, Firefox's menus, when hovered/chosen, have white text on a white
background, clearly impossible to read

(I'm unsure if these are the same bug or different ones which is why I'm
including them in the same report, sorry if thats inconvenient)
