#27 blue borders around tree and text views

When using the "Windows XP" theme, win32 list and text
controls appear with a 1-pixel blue border. The
attached image shows this around the "Advanced
Settings" list control.

GTK-Wimp displays this blue border correctly around
GtkEntry widgets, but not around GtkTreeView and
GtkTextView widgets.

Doing this correctly in GTK appears to be difficult.
The blue border is outside the scrollbars, which makes
it part of the GtkScrolledWindow, and there is
currently no way for a theme engine to draw a border in
that position with GTK. To make it even more complex,
if a tree or list view does not have a scrolled window
it still has to have the border.

I'm not neccesarily expecting this to be fixed soon,
but I wanted it recorded anyway.

    yeah, i'm not sure how much we can do with this, but we'll
    keep it open for the time being. it's pretty much impossible
    to sync up gtk and win32 perfectly. the "good enough"
    solution will probably have to do for now.
