show-trailing-whitespace reveals that view-lossage has needless blanks

Believe me it is over my head, the only functionality of which
remaining these days is reporting the next bug. Anyways, you just got
to try (setq-default show-trailing-whitespace t) in your .emacs file.

...I've had `show-trailing-whitespace' set to t for a long while, and
certainly there are quite a few packages that put trailing whitespace
in read-only (or use-and-forget) buffers, like help, apropos, calendar
and customize.

Perhaps no "hidden imperfections", but definitely ugly :-)
