I agree with Francisco. Having a greyish GTK makes the theme a bit
depressing for general audience. They wouldn't care if it is a technical
issue. Would a slight orangish hue instead of pure white help ?

Also, one doubt. Is this problem there with FF 3.0 ? IIRC, FF 3.0 is
supposed to be better in terms of playing well with the platform it is
installed on w.r.t theming.

I didn't notice if the screenshots were of FF 2.x or 3.0. I have 3.0 at home
and I didn't notice anything bad. But then, I don't usually use the FF menu,
so that could be the reason.

May be Cimi or Kenneth can shed some light.
