When the menuitem is selected/prelighet/active (don't remember exactly the state) the text color of the red menuitem should be the normal one, otherwise it could lead to red-on-orange (in the case of ubuntu ambiance theme)

I think using red in a menu item is bad and inconsistent. It seems better to highlight the 'Restart to complete updates' item with *bold type*, and not by changing the color of the text in a way that causes issues like this in themes.

...needless to say that red text looks broken, also ;-)

What do you think it's the better solution?

Highlight colour purple, white text on both light-themes?
