"something very neutral", holy words.

what's wrong with ubuntu logo? it's beutiful and meaningful. and, 
overall, does not disturb anyone. it's neutral. it's just a logo.

the new theme is beautiful for someone and is not for someone else. it 
disturb someone and do not someone else.
then, in my opinion, its right place is art.gnome.org or 
www.gnome-look.org, and so on. it can surely be included in warty cd, 
but please

*please*
*please*

not as default

:o)

thanks in any case for your work.
i'll continue to install around this wonderful linux distribution.
