[ubuntu-art] freshened metacity theme

[Young Hahn]

I apologize if I made it sound like I didn't think this was an important
issue.

I wonder, though, is it enough to change the metacity theme to something
simpler, or would we be better off doing something like a complete 8-bit
solution--i.e. a whole gtk/icon/gdm/etc. set that uses a well-thought out
palette so that all these different visuals are sharing the same colors?
