The gnome_font_properties program has a bug:  The boxes that should display
a text sample rendered a certain way display only black boxes.  The problem
is in the setup_font_sample function.  It calculates the XftColor black,
and XftColor white variables incorrectly.  It sets these variables to
constants which are incorrect on my sun workstation with a 24bit truecolor
display.

Instead of setting these variables to constants, they should be set from
the result of the XftColorAllocValue function.

Included is a patch to fix the problem.
