Bug#766044: gnome-terminal: Custom text/background colour should offer colours from currently selected palette scheme

[Conrad J.C. Hughes (for Debian package stuff)]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.14.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

  * What led up to the situation?

    - I wanted to use a custom palette and custom text & background
      colours (specifically, the Solarized scheme).

  * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
    ineffective)?

    - I went to the Colours tab on Profile preferences, and selected
      the built-in Solarized *palette* colour scheme.  There was an
      immediate surprise here, in that it didn't change the terminal
      text and background colours.

    - Then, under "Text and Background Colour", I disabled "Use colours
      from system theme" and selected the Built-in theme "Solarized
      dark" for text and background.

    - Unexpectedly this used black as a background colour rather than
      Solarized's base02 (which I believe is the usual default), so I
      clicked on Background colour to set it myself.

  * What was the outcome of this action?

    - The palette in the colour picker is completely unrelated to the
      Solarized palette which I selected earlier, which meant I had to
      separately look up the colour numbers for the Solarized palette,
      identify base02's RGB code and manually enter that in the
      background colour picker.

  * What outcome did you expect instead?

    - I think it would be appropriate to include the currently selected
      terminal colour palette when picking text and background colours.

    - I also think it would be appropriate for palette schemes to
      automatically select associated text and background schemes, but
      that's a smaller issue.
