Description

[Ed Hume]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050803 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050803 Firefox/1.0+

A change in theme can affect how a page is presented. For example, the atom feed
for Mozilla.org will show a button or a very thin line under "Article Length",
depending on the theme. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set Theme as default
2. Go to http://www.mozillazine.org/atom.xml
3. Set theme to SphereGnome

Actual Results:  
Instead of a button, a thin vertical line appears under "article length".

Expected Results:  
A button should appear under "Article Length", regardless of theme choice.

Feedview (like error pages) is themeable, by design. Also, it relies on the
theme widgets (buttons, textbox, etc.) look & feel, that also applies to xul
sliders.
