I have wailed for a long time about the ugly separator, but it
was only after jacob posted his message that I realized you can turn
them off. My message dialogs look *sooooo* much nicer now.

If you are going to enforce a style, please give the default
theme a gtkrc setting for this. "message_sep = 0" or somesuch. I find
them ugly, as do others I polled. Without them, the message dialogs
just look cleaner.
What is the argument for having them in the first place? The
message dialogs are pretty clear in their layout anyway.
