 Changed component to ipython. Sorry

 Replying to [ticket:243 friisj]:
 > When an exception occurs in ipython, the "Linux" color scheme is used in
 the backtrace output despite ipython has been started with the -colors
 LightBG option, making the backtrace unreadable on white background.
 >
 > The problem seems to be caused by "Linux" being the default color scheme
 in the initialisation of the formattedTB class in ultraTB.py.
 >
 > I am using IPython version 0.8.3.svn.r3001
