QWindowsVistaStyle: By default itemviews should get the gradient selection rect and not the dark blue one, currently only QTreeViews and QListViews in icon mode get this selection rect.

Note: The reasoning for compromizing have primarily been to preserve compatibility with older applications. This is the same reason Windows itself doesnt style it's listviews by default. You can find alot of dialogs in Vista that follow the Qt behavior such as: http://blogs.msdn.com/photos/wcsdkteam/images/873152/original.aspx. But it seems the ideal solution would be to provide API to tweak the Vista style. This means the earliest possible fix would be in 4.6.

Update: After some internal discussion we have decided to make the new behavior default in 4.6, but explicitly except QTableView.
