The choice is controlled by input focus mode.  The indented header indicates
click-to-type, the two lines indicate focus-follows-mouse.  See the Open
Look User Interface Functional Specification pp 64-65.

You start with the indented headers because you start in click-to-type mode.
Personally, I would favor changing the default input mode, and swapping the
indicators; but it is -much- too late to change the spec...
