Lubuntu 14.04 Ignores User Color-Customization

[Aere Greenway]

Rafael:

I will report it as a bug.  What package should it be reported against?

Unfortunately, it appears to be one more step down the Ubuntu road of 
taking away customization.  So I'm doubtful anything will come of it.  
But it means a lot to me, so I will report it, nevertheless.

It may well be the end of color customization.
