This is probably a problem with the GTK+ theme, if the "selected" button
looks unselected and the "unselected" button looks selected. You can see
a picture of what it looks like with the default GTK+ theme here.

Now that I compare them, I see what you mean. When "Hosts" is selected
its background is dark gray, but so is the background of the unselected
tabs. To me "Hosts" and "Services" always looked like button and not
like tabs but perhaps in some themes they are too similar. Has anyone
else been confused by this?

I never noticed this before. I don't think it's a problem; just think of
it as a toggle button switching between hosts view and services view.
