Title:
  appindicator doesn't honor the color key in -symbolic icons

Status in libappindicator:
  New
Status in libappindicator package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm creating an app that uses libappindicator to add an status icon to
  the bar. I want to ensure that the icon remain visible no matter what
  background color is being used in the upper bar, so I followed the
  "-symbolic" standard from freedesktop. It specifies that icons whose
  name ends with "-symbolic" will have fills with #BEBEBE color replaced
  by the current FG-COLOR, allowing them to be visible both with dark
  and light backgrounds.

  I did it and it worked fine under Gnome-Shell, but not with unity (I
  tested both my current 12.04 system and a 12.10 in a virtual machine).
  I made several tests, both with my own icons and other system icons
  which are "-symbolic", but no results.

  Several notes about symbolic icons:

  Thanks.
