Note that Windows explorer doesn't behave correctly itself, and so I don't think the bar is high for us to be fixing this. Pre-Australis, we had other issues with the Windows theme as well. Therefore, not tracking for Australis.

Right, we've known about this bug for months though and we're fine with it. There may even be an existing bug on file. In this case it's due to the CSS image cache not getting invalidated.

Duping to bug 940625 which covers the tab issue. I believe there was another platform bug on the clipping on the window caption buttons.
