From private e-mail to me:

"Can a user search for background/foreground color combinations (such
as those commonly used to indicate DIFFs in documents on the web) 
using hexidecimal or rgb values?  all of the windows SRs limit the 
user to a pallate of named colors, making it impossible to find a 
color / color-combo that has been defined using hex or rgb notation..."

Doing this for Firefox is currently going to be a problem because of an existing bug in Firefox (namely that they don't expose text attributes to us).  See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340809. :-(

Doing it for other apps (and extending this functionality to Firefox when doing so is possible), would be cool.

Cool - so depending upon bug 434780 was the right thing to do.  :-)

First coarse pass at GNOME 2.24 planning.
