It is actually not an upstream bug. The upstream (GNOME) provides some
tricks that can lead to a near-perfect solution:
Put a "gtkrc-2.0" file in your home dir, with the following content:
style "desktop-icon"
{
NautilusIconContainer::frame_text = 1
text[NORMAL] = "#000000"
NautilusIconContainer::normal_alpha = 128
}
class "GtkWidget" style "desktop-icon"
Then run "killall nautilus" to see the effect immediately.
This will set your desktop icon text color to black, and add a
50%-translucent, rounded box under icon text so that the icon text is
always easily visible whether the wallpaper is light or dark.
I recommend Ubuntu automatically create such a gtkrc-2.0 file as soon as
a new user is created.
