 > There are two Palettes in the frame device section that need the Palette
 to be lockable, the Speech and the Speaker one. When we set the invoker
 property for both they have the lockable Palette behaviour: click does
 lock/unlock, hovering does reveal the Palette but not lock it. The state
 is even linked between the two, if a is locked and I click on b, a is
 unlocked and b is locked.

 this, should only the two Palettes that need the locking be transformed
 that way?

 So my initial worry is more about the behaviour differences between device
 palettes than the graphics. I'm uncomfortable with some of them behaving
 differently just because of an implementation issue (some have sliders in,
 some don't), this is pretty random for a user to make any sense of. Could
 we make all device palettes lockable, seems reasonable now you have solved
 the 'only one palette locked open at a time' issue?

 Regarding the graphics, it does feel a little unusual for the frame, I'm
 wondering if the lock behaviour is different enough to really warrant
 showing the graphic for the frame case. Also looking at the screen shots
 (have not tested your patch here yet), the device icons seem pushed
 vertically down in the frame too far, this is probably an outstanding
 theme bug (note that the grey outline of an open palette also goes off the
 bottom of the frame, as does the rounded rect press effect that shows when
 holding the AP icon).
