The gradient kind of makes the buttons look a bit more realistic,
a bit like they have a smudge of dirt on them. That's one of the
things which made the first Star Wars film a nice ground breaker,
the use of dirt on spacecraft hulls to give them a realistic look.
I suppose that rather than a gradient, it would be possible to
have code generated dirt textures. Certainly, it would be
distinctive and set the GUI apart from all others! Probably an
idea better saved for a theme.
