Ok. Neither of the patches seem to do anything, but it seems the state 
of listviews seems to have gotten worse rather than better (or at least, 
it is equally broken but in a different manner). Alternate rows, as far 
as I can tell, *never* use the active color. Also, the text (*all* text, 
not just selections) uses inactive when the list doesn't have focus.

My experience is that inactive works (or should work) as follows:
- for selections, use active if the widget has focus, else use inactive
- otherwise use active if the /window/ has focus, else use inactive

There are a number of violations of the above rules in listviews.

The KDE4 color scheme at http://pastebin.ca/987866 can be used to hunt 
bugs (make sure to turn state effects on!).

Meanwhile, I disabled the patches as I don't see what, if anything, they 
are doing in current qt-copy.

up with this entirely on their own)
