Eric,

  Just a quick update... the problem with the lightgray-on-white text
here is deeper than the fix you proposed.  While a bit of code to set a
contrasting background color may actually work in this specific case, it
would not work in the general case, because the problem here is actually
the use of the css !important symbol throughout the stylesheet in
question and the fact that when conkeror changes styles on a document
(to do the hints decoration for example), those rules must compete in
the normal order of css precedence.

  The use of !important was apparently necessary in order for the
stylesheet to override the google style.  However, when rules are marked
as !important, they are not easily overridden.  Conkeror "correctly"
sets the text color of the links to black, but the !important definition
in the stylesheet still takes precedence.

  I have some more experimentation to do, so this is not my final word
on the subject.

  As a side-note to this, it is no longer necessary to use the Stylish
extension to do things like this, as conkeror now has a themes module of
its own.  Diagnosing this problem has given me a couple of ideas of how
the themes module could be improved to make it easier to use though.  So
look for future changes related to that.
