I would appreciate it if you would define what you mean by "default theme".   I
realize that this is confusing, but here goes:

1) GNUstep has a "built-in" or "native" look, one that doesn't require a theme
to be shown.  
2) GNUstep also has a theme engine called Camaelon.  Because it uses theme
bundles, it's capable of changing almost any aspect of the UI.

When you say "default theme" are you referring to #1 or a theme bundle written
for Camaelon, as described in #2?   

Well discuss the other points in this email depending on the answer to the
above.
