making stars the same color again

[Alexandre Oliveira]

I'm still against the option, but I can live with that.
However, no delays, please. This release is holding 2.0 start, and we
also want it to be ready for one distro's release, I don't remember
which one now.
We'll have a 1.4.6 (at least to complete the icon set), so it can
probably wait for it. SVN users can have it back right after the
release, and people with stable versions have never seen this, so they
can wait, can't they?
