By default buttons fade from the hover to the normal state, by animating
the opacity of a copy of the previous border-image. This works as

flickering effect for others.
Making StButton's fade effect work with partly transparent pixels is
hard, not using images with transparency is easy ...

Matching the 20091114 mockup, the default workspace view
is now a scrollable horizontal list, with a control to
switch between this and the previous grid view.
