Patch

Part of me is not happy we need to add so much code. But I guess we need this.

I had triggered a clobber for the same. It's a clobbering issue.

[Approval Request Comment]
Bug caused by (feature/regressing bug #): Personas
User impact if declined: about:home text is illegible when dark themes are applied. So users cannot sport a Darth Vader theme for Firefox!
Testing completed (on m-c, etc.): Landed on m-c yesterday.
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): Very low. Proven concept of state-list that we use everywhere.
String or UUID changes made by this patch: None.

Approving for aurora given the low risk profile here.

This particular file is needed for this patch to land -- which is currently not available in Aurora. Do I add a trimmed down version of the file as a separate patch for Aurora -- which will be like a pre-requisite for this patch?

The preferred approach would be to create a new version of this patch that does not depend on GeckoView.java.frag changes. We like to avoid pulling in additional changes to aurora if they are not really needed.

Firefox 20.0a1 (2013-01-02)
Device: Galaxy Nexus 
OS: Android 4.1.1 

The text in about:home is not visible (is now white as the wordmark). Verified Fixed for Nightly 20.0a1

Please push it to Aurora too so we close this bug verified for all branches.
