Is there any other way of indicating that a directory is the current
one? Like making the name of the directory bold? Or outlining it with a
dotted line of the selection colour (though I'd prefer bold text
myself)? I don't know how hard this would be to add to the Gtk tree
control (if that is what is being used here).
