Ok, let's face it. Most themes don't care, what where a button is drawn.
The buttons in top of a list will still be GtkButtons, if you add a
detail. I don't think they even _have_ a detail right now.

Therefore I'm certain it won't break anything. I personally use the
trick reminic mentioned since a long while with my eXperience theme.
Since I use this trick quite often (buttons in the panel look different
from buttons in dialogues etc....) I didn't bother so far. Still I
personally like the approach of reminic, because it allows you too theme
the ends of the header differently. This definitely would be an
improvement.

I don't know a first thing about programming or how things work behind
the scenes, but as I said before, I don't see the problems Tedd is
talking about.

Take care!
