There's actually no configuration option for this; you will have to add
this manually to your .gtkrc:


        style "gnome-desktop-icon" {
                fg[NORMAL] = { 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 }
                bg[NORMAL] = { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 }
        }

        widget_class "*DesktopIcon*" style "gnome-desktop-icon"


This sets the foreground color to white and background to black (if you
use `Shaped text' the second line won't make any difference).

Just remember that if you change GTK+--themes, your .gtkrc file might be
over-written.
