Other than the mentioned bug, I like this gleam patch, but would like to
ask for your opinions. Although it looks good, I can't seem to "interpret"
the boxes well as up and/or down boxes.

ISTR that I once learned that we (our brain) usually interpret(s) flat
drawings as 3-dimensional according to some light effects, so that our
impression of "up and down" is best, if the light seems to come from top
left. This is used in the standard box types, and it seems to be utilized
in widgets of other apps (e.g. firefox).

The clue is that...
 - for an UP box, the top and left side are brighter, the bottom and right
side are darker
- for a DOWN box, this is just the opposite.

In the gleam patch, there is only the top-down gradient (not left-right),
but this would be okay, IMHO. However, could we (Edmanuel ?) try to change
the patch so that it is like described above ? I'd like to see that as an
example, to be able to decide if this is better.

OTOH, if this is not intended, then I'm also okay with the patch as-is.
Just wanted to ask for a possible improvement or other opinions.
