md-avatar-icon inside a clickable md-list-item

[tjlav5]

It seems that the css for the md-avatar-icon is a bit too specific.

md-list-item > .md-avatar-icon {
    background-color: '{{foreground-3}}';
    color: '{{background-color}}';
}

When adding a click fn to the containing md-list-item, the new structure becomes:

md-list-item
-- button
----.md-list-item-inner
------.md-avatar-icon

Is there any reason to not have an md-avatar-icon inside a clickable list-item? Or is it just an omission? If the later I can submit a quick PR.

Something along these lines would fix my use case:

md-list-item > .md-avatar-icon, .md-list-item-inner > .md-avatar-icon

OR

md-list-item .md-avatar-icon

Cheers

An md-avatar-icon child of a md-list-item gets a simple theme: color & background-color.

md-list-item > .md-avatar-icon {

The first md-list-item does not have an ng-click attr, the second does

Once the md-list-item has a click event handler associated with it (ng-click), a button and md-list-item-inner come into play. When that happens, the theme for the md-avatar-icon no longer applies the colors...
