Description of problem: After updating to Fedora 21 and opening a text file with vim in gnome-terminal with `:set spell` enabled I am unable to read text highlighted as misspelled or uncommon spelling. This is due to the new default theme for gnome-terminal. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vim-enhanced.x86_64 2:7.4.475-2.fc21 installed Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set gnome-terminal to 'use colours from system theme' 2. Open vim, enable spell checking `:set spell` 3. Type misspelled words (asdf) and uncommon word (color for en_au) Actual results: Unable to read words highlighted as misspelled or uncommon. Expected results: Highlighting colours of misspelled and uncommon words should not clash with the default terminal theme.

This is also an issue for the default highlighting of search items.
Created attachment 978755 [details] Proposed patch Adds `set background=dark` to the default vimrc.
Created attachment 993154 [details] Default vim highlighting theme based on gnome-terminal theme Better version. The `set background=light/dark` is now based on the user's settings in gnome-terminal.
This is supposed to be fixed in vim-7.4.827-1.fc21, please update your vim packages. At the moment they are still in the updates-testing repo, but should be moved to f21-updates soon. In the meantime the command 'yum --enablerepo updates-testing update vim' will update vim
vim-7.4.827-1.fc21 has been pushed to the Fedora 21 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
