Searchable id: yorba-bug-5877
Original author: Jim Nelson
Original description:

After some discussion, we've decided instead of a solid line we'd like to pad
each conversation item with a little blank space so they "float" separately
from each other.

Original description:

> As discussed in #5727 but not implemented in time for 0.2.

This turns out to be a wee bit more complex than it looks at first glance.

Gtk doesn't seem to have any concept of space between cells in a tree view.
There are various ways to apply extra space between cells, but these are
displayed as (to use HTML lingo) "padding" rather than a "margin." For
example, if you create a Gtk.TreeView and set the vertical-separator style
property, that separator space will be displayed as white, and the selection
rectangle will be drawn around it when the cell is selected.
