Interesting behavior that I haven't seen.  Not explicitly *wrong*, but
funny none the less.

All planned, and all a part of making the list view more themeable.
Personally I prefer that it be controlled by the theme rather than YAS
(Yet Another Setting).  Much will get done before .23 as this is all
my primary focus, but it will probably take a few revisions before we
find a nice balance of usability, versatility, and themeability.
