It is Eclipse's fault IMHO. GTK theme specifies that:
- editor text should be drawn using background color A and foreground
color B.
- tooltips should be drawn using background color C and foreground color
D.
It guarantees that A and B, as well as C and D, are distinguishable.

Eclipse makes an incorrect assumption that if it mixes all the colors
together, D will be fine on A.

GTK can do nothing to prevent Eclipse from using the theme's colors (see
http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554600 for another example).
