Maybe there is another way to workaround it. Here [1] is the code related to the vino message box area widget. It seems the widget itself is named "gtk-tooltip".
GtkRc should allow you to (see [2]) to apply a custom style to a specific widget in a specific application. Something like the following should work. style "vino-message-area-fix" { ## insert here proper color } widget "vino.gtk-tooltip" style "vino-message-area-fix" Of course it's totally untested and needs more investigation.
