Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

nautilus:
  Installed: 1:2.26.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:2.26.1-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1:2.26.1-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
--------------------------------------------------

If I set a dark background (pattern or color) the icons text goes white, as expected.
If I then switch to List view (Ctrl+2) and then back to Icons view (Ctrl+1) the icons text becomes dark, barely unreadable.

Version 2.26.0 had the same problem too.

  [ Josselin Mouette ]
  * Drop gnome-mount recommends, it’s already pulled by gvfs if needed
    (i.e. for gvfs builds that use HAL).

  [ Andrea Veri ]
  * New upstream release.
  * debian/control:
    - bumped standards-version to 3.8.3. No changes needed.
    - bumped libtrackerclient-dev to >= 0.6.6 (lenny version),
      to start up nautilus porting to tracker 0.7. Thanks mbiebl
      for the hint.
    - added missing ${misc:Depends} to both nautilus-dbg and
      libnautilus-extension-dev making lintian stop complaining.

  [ Josselin Mouette ]
  * nautilus-data.gconf-defaults: set exit_with_last_window to false so
    that nautilus doesn’t go in a loop when show_desktop = false.
  * 13_autostart.patch: removed, it is no longer necessary.
    + Automount works even when show_desktop = false. Closes: #538108.
