It is not eclipse's fault, per se. Eclipse uses several different text
colours according to the syntax highlighting of the editor being used.
If it were eclipse's "fault", then Eclipse would be responsible to check
every single possible conflict of colours and dynamically re-configure
the theme, which is completely ridiculous, and invalidates the entire
point of eclipse managing its own syntax highlighting.

It should actually be gtk's responsibility to recognize when
applications specify custom text colours / themes. In those cases, gtk
should _not_ apply the default text colour / font / etc, but rather
those specified by the application. Only when an application does not
specify custom text colours / fonts / etc, should gtk resort to the
default text colour / font / etc.
