Lubuntu 14.04 Ignores User Color-Customization

[Rafael Laguna]

More clues. I've tested on a few environments.

1. Lubuntu does no colorize at all. Nor fgtk2 nor gtk3.
2. XFCE (using Shimmer's gtk-theme-config) DOES colorize only gtk2 (pretty
normal, as usually gtk3 is not able to do this)
3. Mate. The same as XFCE, only colorizes gtk2 apps (I insist, gtk3 apps
cannot be colorized as is, they need to be tweaked via .gtk-3.0 RC).
4. Ubuntu hasn't this feature anymore.

So, as colorization works in every environment as eexpected, the problem is
ours. But themes react fine in other desktops, so there's no problem at all
on engines or themes RC files.

So, once tested all steps, there's only one left: the LXDE session settings
daemon. Shall we declare it as a bug?
