Anders mentioned in IRC that there's a bug filed in gtk about each theme
providing a number of colors that can be distinguishable from each
other. I suppose that would be, if at all, in GTK 2.4, so we can't rely
on that, but once we've got this in GTK, it seems the best way to get
the colors. Thus each theme can set the best colors for it.
