    I just noticed that my remark is only true for the GTK version.  Emacs
    compiled with LessTif works the other way around: the menus and the
    toolbar have the dark color of the selected mode line while the header
    line with its light color seems more part of the buffer.

Is the inconsistency in the default colors of the menu bar etc?
That is somewhat undesirable, I'd say.  Maybe we should make the
default colors of the header line depend on the toolkit in use.
