A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Using Nimbus look and feel, any disabled JComboBox using a custom ListCellRenderer has the enabled font color instead of the disabled one. Others JComboBox components are well shown with disabled colors. Metal look and feel does not have this problem.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. javac DisabledComboTestCase.java
2. java -Dswing.defaultlaf=javax.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel DisabledComboTestCase

(java 6:)
2. java -Dswing.defaultlaf=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.nimbus.NimbusLookAndFeel DisabledComboTestCase

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The JComboBox on the right (with item "JComboBox with DefaultListCellRenderer") should like the "Simple JComboBox" on the left, including text disabled color.
ACTUAL -
The JComboBox on the right ("JComboBox with DefaultListCellRenderer") has the "enabled" text color.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
