Grayed out un-clickable box.

The search box is gray and disabled in the settings manager sub-items. This is
quite misleading until we learn that, e.g. in the theme I'm using, the enabled
one is white and the disabled one is gray.

If there's no intention of enabling it in sub-items that can used it (like,
currently MIME type editor and xfconf editor have their own search fields),
then having no search box at all in the sub-items will prevent people wondering
why it isn't working (I'm not so dumb, but I installed the system from a basic
iso and wondered if I had some package missing before I realized that the box
actually was disabled).
