With http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/104240 I thought it was necessary to make NSTextFieldCells draw with a clear background in order to allow styled text fields. That is not actually necessary…we just had a different bug where isControlStyled() was only checking for styled borders on text fields. <rdar://problem/10663710>
