I think this is possibly a moot question / issue.  It doesn't seem to
bother anyone else, and I can honestly work with the current actions. 
(This was more due to a mistake on my behalf, which is probably better
addressed elsewhere...)

I'm curious about this too...  I'd also be curious to find out if
there are any themes that actually enable this.  I can't recall
seeing any that do it.  Although, I'd still question the usefulness
of having it in all applications.
