Well, I totally dig translucency, so I might have over done it :-)  The high
translucency was also to demonstrate that most applets actually handle
translucent panels quite well (as opposed to earlier versions of gnome).

Well, if the default theme is based around glossy looks I can't see how this
doesn't fit..? The main problem is that switching themes doesn't change the
panel background - so a flat simple theme will end up with a glossy panel.

Regarding gaim... I attached a cropped screenie showing gaim in the
notification area... Maybe you are thinking about the Mugshot bee head?

Cheers,
Mikkel
