Begin stop of the Linear gradient tab should reflect the Solid color selected for an object

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select an object (in the awesome SVG-edit application, for instance)
2. Set the object color to anything but red
3. Open the colorpicker --> The colorpicker reflects the selected Solid color.
4. Now decide that you want a Linear gradient.
5. Switch to the Linear gradient tab

What is the expected output? 

The colorpicker reflects the selected Solid color as the Begin stop of the
gradient

What do you see instead?

A red to yellow default gradient :(

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

All! 

Please provide any additional information below.

It would be a great help to not have to go back to the Solid color tab to
check out the color values and to not have to manually fill them in the
Linear gradient tab.

Fixed in r79. Currently the second color is the same as the first with a 50% 
opacity, though I'm open for other suggestions like white, black, 0% opacity, 
etc.
