Actually this is important differentiation.  The image highlighting 
tells you something about the "selected cell" and the dotted outline 
tells you something about the "first responder".  These can differ 
(think key board navigation), eventhough the Gorm cells you are refering 
to actually seem to make the "first responder" the selected cell 
automatically.  I'm not sure whether that should be considered a but or not.

To make it look nicer, maybe we could "round" the corners of the 
highlighting.

Cheers,
Dave
