Comment 18 for bug 195929

I added the painting of the base[NORMAL] or base[INSENSITIVE] color behind text entries to correct the rendering in bug 415494; if we want to have the possibility to avoid drawing this background, we want to get info from the theme that it doesn't break if the background is not filled. The main problem is that engines currenlty don't expect the widget to be filled with the default background, but with the current entry background. Apart from clearlooks which always paint the background as part of the shadow, every other gtk-engine breaks if this filling hasn't happened. On a dark background it means a bug more visible that just not rounded corners.
