Epiphany webkit vs gecko

Hi,

It seems Webkit Gtk doesn't use the background colour from the theme in some cases, such as for about:blank. I'm attaching a screenshot comparing the Webkit backed Epiphany with the Gecko variant (Webkit on top).

Liferea shows a similar bug, so I'm guessing this bug belongs to Webkit.

It's a very minor problem, but quite visible if a dark theme is used.

Precisely since dark themes broke horribly lots of web sites with gecko I'm not sure I actually *want* this "bug" fixed. Or at the very least it should be a setting that I can set to FALSE in epiphany.

I see. I haven't noticed any problems myself, but maybe I'm just lucky, or possibly I need to visit my optometrist ;)

Anyway, keeping options around for such a trifle matter seems unnecessary. I don't mind if you WONTFIX this request.

Wont fix as suggested.
