patch to change inactive selection colors to be a bit more selection-like

Ok, all, take this for a spin... I'm attaching a patch that adds some tint from
active Selection:NormalBackground into the inactive (but *not* the disabled)
thereof. So, disabled selections will use Window colors straight (I think this
is still OK?), but inactive selections will use Window colors but with the
background tinted toward active Selection:NormalBackground.

This should only cause Usability/Accessibility problems if a Window foreground
color has low luma contrast w.r.t. its corresponding background color.

I think this works better than fredrikh's suggestion of doing the opposite
(still use Selection, but tint with Window:NormalBackground) as I think the
problem is more than inactive selection needs to be more selection hue+chroma
with different luma than window hue+chrome with same luma. (This doesn't work
as well with schemes like BeOS where the selection color does not differ in
hue/chroma, but the alternative would result in no distinction between active
and inactive, which I consider very undesirable.)
