It is being defined-- in the "active" state. "<state name="selected"
from="active">" means *everything* in the active state is inherited,
and everything in selected is an override. If you don't directly
address the items defined in the active state, they will show up
exactly as defined there. The shape and the image both show up
because they're different objects. One inherited from Active and one
newly defined.
