screenshot of bad/invalid default colors for a new object

Starting in LO 4 (I think) something was changed in Draw such that the default fill color for objects is now an undefined shade of dark blue and the default line color is an undefined shade of lighter blue for newly create objects.

I have attached a screenshot which clearly shows this on the toolbar- the fill color is listed as "[]" and the line color is just blank.

Regardless of their being invalid/undefined colors, any line color that is not black is completely inappropriate as a default.

Our only workaround for this was to create a default template for all new Draw documents that correctly sets the default fill color to "Blue 8" and line color as "Black" as defined in all versions of OpenOffice and presumably older versions of LibreOffice.

Not sure if it is related or not, but we don't use or install gnome-integration or kde-integration, and are operating under Icewm on RHEL 6.  But this has never caused this issue before and it is the way be have been installing LO and OO (well, mostly OO) for a long time (ever since those "integration" packages came out) without issue.  We are using the plain-vanilla, official packages downloaded from the LO website.
