[CoLoCo] Hardy Heron

[David Overcash]

That WOULD be awesome...  but it's more of a Gnome issue than Ubuntu.  For
example, I wanted to change my system application panel font color and type
in Gnome and rather than having a GUI to do it, I had to create some random
files and place them in my home directory...  not cool.

See this screenshot:

I needed to create this file:
.gtkrc-2.0

Which had the following:

style "my_color"
{
fg[NORMAL] = "#FFA400"
font_name = "Arial Bold"
}
widget "*anel*" style "my_color"

And still add a line to yet another file.  It's been on the bug/feature
request list for a while now for Gnome.  : (
