[suggestion] a small convenience for desktop users

Recently, 
I found a very small application, 'GNOME Art'
(http://www.miketech.net/gnome-art/), that integrates the themes found
on art.gnome.org into a nice user interface. The user simply clicks on
a theme preview that they like and then clicks install.

Now, it has just been released, so some features have not been included
yet, but I think that it has a lot of potential, especially for a
desktop-oriented distribution such as Ubuntu.

For instance, if the application could also integrate the themes from
GNOME-Look, or possibly an RSS feed, and allow the user to browse,
preview, and install themes from many sources, it would be very
popular.

The reason I think this would be a good consideration for inclusion in
the Ubuntu desktop is because of the ability to browse, preview, and
then install in one small application. It is similar to Synaptic in
this regard.

Please don't hesitate to let me know your thoughts.  :)
Thank you for your time and work.
