Hi again, an update on this.

It has been pointed out by members of the design team that, even if we
didn't ship the proposed fix, we would also need the dark WM theme
counterpart for this to look really good. The design team thinks that
without the WM theme, it's better not to ship a dark theme variant at
all.

This really changes our options to:
1) revert the dark theme completely in master. This would make Totem and
EOG using the light theme again.
2) push this fix and make the dark WM theme work properly too. This
requires changes in GTK+ and mutter.

We're currently aiming for 2). The GTK+ fix is already in the gtk-3-0
branch [1] and Florian is taking care of getting the mutter part
integrated.
