[ubuntu-art] Lubuntu style: how light can it be?

[Shawn Thompson]

For Lubuntu, I know we're trying to make it light but elegant, which led 
me to think of an idea; how well do Cairo-based GTK engines run on the 
kind of computers we're aiming at with Lubuntu? I had an idea of maybe 
using a lighter GTK engine for the theme, although right now the theme 
I'm working on for Lubuntu is a modification of the Radiance theme from 
the main Gnome version, and I'm aiming for a kind of icy/frost-type look.

Any thoughts?
