[UI] Fwd: Workspace backgrounds - almost there

[Chris Muller]

Looks real good Bill!  I especially like highlighting the items in
Lists the same as text highlighted in a text pane; a big improvement
over the red-on-gray list selections of past.

Do you have a mind to ditch the corner handles?  Aren't they ugly?
Not to mention redundant with the changing of the mouse-pointer.  I've
also noticed (in 3.9 images) they creep out of their bounds under
certain circumstances like too small a window-title font, or maybe
square window corners too..
