Yes, I realized that but was being brief. To become a button, it would
need another image for "down" (sync-lock on) state, beveled edges, and
be always visible. And in fact, another image (or two) for tracks not
currently sync-lock selected.

Thanks. I didn't notice that. Fixed.

Didn't change anything about that, so I think that's how it's supposed
to work. My understanding is the gray is for selected, the links are for
"sync-lock selected" (i.e., not selected, but will be affected by
sync-lock sensitive operations on the selected track).
