[wp-testers] styling stick posts

[Otto]

Just add caller_get_posts=1 to your custom query, and you won't
autoget the stickies anymore.

caller_get_posts is not documented yet, but essentially it's what
prevents the get_posts() calls from getting sticky posts. It'll work
if you use it directly too.
