Bug#770760: caja: filename font color does not always get picked up from theme

[Ayke van Laethem]

Package: caja
Version: 1.8.2-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

The font color of filenames in the directory listing of caja sometimes do not
get applied as they should according to the theme.

A few cases in which I have seen this happening:
  * When the BlackMATE theme has been applied. The filename font color is still
    black on the dark background, making the filenames harder to read (see the
    attached screenshot).
  * When switching from BlackMATE to a lighter theme. The filenames become
    light and thus barely readable on the white background. This is resolved
    with a restart of caja.

Strangely, this only happens in the 'icons' and 'compact' display type, not in
the 'list' display type. Switching from the 'icons' to the 'list' and back to
the 'icons' type makes the filenames the right color (light gray or white).

The 'High Contrast Inverse' theme doesn't have this problem.

(I know this could be a mate-themes bug but as the right color does get applied
under certain conditions, it seems like caja is messing up somewhere).
