screenshot demonstrating problem

A form control (at least input and select) with css background = white does not use a white background, but rather the default background color. This makes the text illegible (see ascreenshot) if the default background color is dark, and the CSS text color is also dark (e.g. black, which is the most commonly used with a white background).

Either the CSS background color should be respected, or the foreground color should be similarly ignored. (Given that QtWebkit stops using styled controls for other background colors, I would actually have some preference for the latter, or to not use unstyled controls with custom background color.)

Note: using qt-4.8.4-6.fc17.x86_64 and qtwebkit-2.2.2-1.fc17.x86_64; I have no idea what option of the available choices in this bugzilla that matches.
