dark linux gtk theme makes pages look bad; "use system colors" should apply to 
input elements as well as fonts, or separate option needed

In Gnome (Debian Squeeze) I use a modified Darklooks desktop theme.  In
Iceweasel under Edit > Preferences > Content > Colors..., "Use System Colors"
is NOT checked, but the desktop theme is still applied to input textboxes and
select boxes, making them difficult to read against the normally white
background of web pages.  (Will attach screenshot.)  

It seems like the default view of unstyled web pages ought to be the way they
are intended, with black text against a light background.  

If the "Use System Colors" should only apply to the default font color, which
it changes when activated, can there be another option to control the behavior
of input elements, to use the system theme colors or not?

Thanks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Un-check "Use System Colors" option in browser preferences, using default
Firefox theme.
2. Choose Darklooks desktop theme in Gnome Appearance control panel
3. Open a web page.
Actual Results:  
Input and select elements are colored with the system colors.

Expected Results:  
Input and select elements should be colored with default web page colors.  If
not, there should be a separate option which has the default of using the
default web page colors for input elements.
