It's not a bug. It just happens to be so. I mean you shouldn't count on
this. Altering colors in GTK L&F rather than in the theme config file is
not supported.
I am still a little confused. If closed source jdk allows setting the
background, and openjdk doesn't, doesn't that mean openjdk is correct
and the fixes should be applied to the closed source jdk? Basically, I
am asking what the ideal behaviour should be. Should
setBackground()/setForeground() have any effect when using the gtk look
and feel?
No they shouldn't.
