Including a new GTK theme in Ubuntu GNOME

[Tim]

Hi Satyajit,
   I think you have really left this a bit late.

   While I am not opposed to shipping extra themes, I will not be 
putting a non-default theme in ubuntu-gnome-default-settings. Despite 
what you say, GTK themes do break each and every cycle, perhaps not as 
critical but still plenty of glitches etc. I also have a suspicion that 
people looking for a theme, are at a first instance going to search 
google for it, rather than checking what is installed.

Now the right way to do this would be to get your theme into the ubuntu 
Archives as a package, then we could get it included in the default 
install (as an additional theme) if the rest of the artwork team are 
happy with that. All of this may be a little late for trusty however you 
could atleast try.
