[trinity-devel] bad UI font colors/theming in GTK3 Firefox in openSUSE

I've had several test installations of openSUSE 42.2 pre-releases and am in 
process of upgrading them to the official release. As there has been no repo 
made for 42.2, these have all been configured to use 42.1's TDE 14.0.x repos.

Recent Firefoxes have a problem with UI font colors:

A workaround is getting

	GTK_THEME=Adwaita

into the ENVIRONMENT before starting FF, so that it looks like it should, 
(more or less the same as the same mozilla.org FF build does in TDE on Stretch):

The blue UI text color for the main menu selection in the latter image above 
is reportedly expected according to discussion on irc://moznet/#chatzilla

I haven't filed a TDE bug because the repos and the distribution don't match, 
and haven't yet tested this with 14.0.x on openSUSE 42.1.

What's the preferred way to get GTK_THEME=Adwaita into the ENV? ATM I'm doing 
it via export in .bashrc.
