I would prefer to get the entire Ubuntu default artwork in 
order before doing _anything_ else.  That said, if we can
leverage existing simple concepts such as Andreas' notion,
it would seem like a relatively simple addition with limited
exertion.

Frank's document pretty much hits on all the points.  We
need to have a motif and a centralized thematic before
worrying about specific details.  Otherwise it's hodge
podge city again.

Hence the dev cycle:  targets thread.  We need to see
exactly what we can accomplish.  I do think fresh wallpaper,
splashes, etc, are manageable.  Minor tweaks to the wm
display to unify, etc.  Not an entire icon set by a long
long long way.  Although it is possible and plausible to set
something like this into motion during Edgy and see how it
progresses towards the next release.

Again, my priority is to get the entire Ubuntu look and feel
in line, which is currently isn't.  Having other themes
isn't going to help our focus, and I only really can see
progress on the default install.
