Personally myself, I honestly believe that GNUstep aught to have a 
theme engine instead of making these changes on code level, creating a 
theme engine and having people make GNUstep look like whatever they 
want it too would be much more constructive than making minor changes 
like this, that will only prove to provoke some on the list, and start 
a bikeshed on this topic that lasts for weeks on end.

But what do I know, I just idle on the list most of the time =]
