Note that *actual tooltips* are fine, since they render with the
background-image, as specified in gtk-widget.css.

But firefox's notification bars have trouble because they don't get
rendered with the full GTK styling. Firefox sets up a dummy widget and
styles it as a tooltip, and reads its "background-color" and "color"
styling, and assumes that those will be useful. And the problem is that
background-color does not currently have a useful value (in that it's
basically the same as the foreground color), because these GTK themes
reasonably don't expect that they need to provide a background-color,
since they're providing a background-image instead.

Title:
  Ambiance & Radiance themes are missing a "background-color" for
  tooltip elements (needed for GTK3-enabled Firefox Nightly)

Status in ubuntu-themes package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Firefox Nightlies recently became GTK3-enabled, and that uncovered an
  issue with Ubuntu's Ambiance & Radiance GTK3 themes.

  They're missing a "background-color" for the .tooltip {...} CSS rule
  in their config files. They have a "tooltip_bg_color" variable, which
  they use to set up a background-image (really a gradient), but there's
  no background-color.

  This causes problems for GTK3-enabled Firefox, because it reads back some system-colors by setting up a dummy tooltip and reading the (currently-not-useful) background-color and the foreground-color. Right now, this produces unreadable output (for the user) with white-text-on-a-white-background, as shown in this screenshot:
   https://bug1187203.bmoattachments.org/attachment.cgi?id=8638351

  The solution is simple -- just add this one line to the ".tooltip" CSS rule in gtk-widgets.css:
     background-color: @tooltip_bg_color;
