OK, I see now.

It hard to see the breakpoint icon when its under the overlay arrow or the
hollow overlay arrow over the breakpoint icon because of their small size.

Does the default overlay arrow shape/breakpoint icon have to be only eight
pixels wide?  The default left fringe width is 10 for me, but perhaps that
is due to the font size I'm using (-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120...).

Its slightly easier to see both breakpoint icon and overlay arrow when the
the breakpoint icon is square.  Is there any reason for not having a square
breakpoint icon?

I also think it helps to use grey60 for the disabled face all the time.

Are there any other tricks to make the icons easier to see when they are
coincident?
