[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 678116] [NEW] Use a standard way to highlight elements

[David Prieto]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: banshee

I have noticed that Banshee does not seem to follow the way other apps
in Ubuntu highlight items, or show the active pane; normally apps
highlight items using an orange colour, which changes to grey when that
pane (or the whole app) is not focused.

Instead, Banshee seems to use orange for all panes, the focused one as
well as the unfocused, and shows which pane is focused by drawing a
second border inside it. This deviation from the norm makes more
difficult to guess what will happen if you press a given key (e.g. the
tab key or a direction key), so using the standard way would be
beneficial.
