I agree, except that I think we shold use the SELECTED colors for
this. A theme that decides that normal prelighting is ugly and thus
sets PRELIGHT=NORMAL should not need to special-case the panel to get
keyboard focus back. The theme can change the dark blue color to
something else if it wants to.
