I would suggest making it be controlled by a Setting rather than  
#ifdefs.  I thought one existed already, but if it doesn't, we can add  
one.  Another possibility might be using the theme to query for this  
info, although I know we would like to preserve the gap painting on  
Safari for Windows.  Therefore a Setting is probably best.

Keep in mind that eliminating the gaps will give you a pretty ugly  
irregular selection in a lot of places.   Do what you want in Chrome,  
but make sure it's a setting and that you don't change Safari for  
Windows in the process.
