Why, oh why, do some Gnome people insist on cramming their frickin
UI choices down user's throats?  Look, people would not be downloading
and installing themes unless they preferred them!
For what it's worth, I think the gnomefx icons are ghastly.
The Nuvola, Lush and Clearlooks sets are great, that is just my opinion.
Gnome has some excellent graphics.  Obviously, people like choice.
What I have to wonder is why theming hasn't been enabled for Epiphany.
Epiphany, AKA the browser that strips out the flexibility and user
empowerment of Firefox.  Great.  Another advance for Gnome usability.

Not.
