So you're running with a GTK+ widget theme selected?
If so, you might want to let the creator of the theme know about this
problem - giving GtkText a background color that doesn't contrast well
with its foreground color doesn't strike me as a feature.
If by "desktop theme" you're referring to a color theme rather than a
full-blown widget theme, you might also want to find out who specified
it, and, again, inform them that the choice of colors isn't exactly
wonderful.

"gtk_rc_parse()" should read the application-specific "gtkrc" files
after the default ones, so if the settings in file N+1 override the
settings in file N, then "~/.ethereal/gtkrc" should override whatever's
in the system-wide "gtkrc" and in "~/.gtkrc".
