gray definitely is not a good color for that, in UIs where
text widgets or tree views are not focussable (e.g.
if a text view is just used for viewing, not editing, or
a treeview is used to select notebook pages), these widgets
always look insensitive, even if you click on them.
and it kinda defeats conveying the message that you can click
on them in the first place.

something else needs to be done here, e.g. using a lighter blue
or somesuch.
