what do you mean doesn't work? i have it in my system settings, and
used to always use qtcurve which looked awesome. after installing
GNOME, i got the human-clearlooks theme, and started using it for GTK+
apps, and till now, i'm sending this message from a firefox using the
human-clearlooks theme.
as for why it's optional, i have no idea, lol
