The comment list should have white background. This indicates to the user
that it is editable. I will be leaving it as a white background unless too
many users disagree with me.

I will change that in VCE for the next release.

The next release of VCE will have an information tab showing such details.

The next release of the integrated winamp/vce will be implemented as a modal
dialog box.
