IMHO the default should imitate the standard 3D effect generally used
for window dividers.  Unfortunately, doing that without prior knowledge
of the respective API primitives is tedious.  It would be a great help
if anyone else could do that.

I didn't want to change existing code, so I left `vertical-border'
untouched.  The divider face is used for horizontal dividers as well, so
the name vertical-border would be inappropriate.

Finally, I'm not yet sure how to incorporate the default 3D value
mentioned above in the face definition.
