Perhaps... it's a distinction we make everywhere else though (moreso in
the user guide than on the desktop itself, I suspect) so we'd need to
fix this everywhere if we agree on better terminology.

snipped that part out :)

Heh.. well, I thought it was pretty hideous at first and almost
immediately switched back to the 'classic' Win9x style.  But after a
while I switched back again, so it must have something going for it... I
still think it looks kind of ugly though :)
