I'm basically willing to follow the VDG's lead here in the end, although I think this approach has some problems:

- It's a fairly heavy deco for the containment case, which does make it feel a lot like a selection deco. This is reinforced by the fact that other file item delegates in the system (Dolphin, KFileDialog) behave similarly on selection.

- I can't quite make my mind up on whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that the deco on narrow single-line text items extends over the entire line width instead of bounding to the text. It's different from Dolphin/KFileDialog behavior, though.

    Are you sure you wanted to hard-code pixel values here instead of using hidpi scaling-aware margins? units.smallSpacing is effectively 2px right now at 'standard DPI'.

    This causes a subtle brightly-colored rectangle in popups from the containment Folder View and in the widget case which I think looks fairly awkward to me. The dialog and widget backgrounds are designed to host theme.textColor already contrast-wise, so I think it'd be better to just not show this rectangle there.
