Xubuntu Derivative Guidelines published

[Pasi Lallinaho]

Hey Kiyotaka!

Themes like Greybird and Albatross aren't part of the Xubuntu branding.
That said, we should likely make it completely clear in the guidelines
that dependencies for the xubuntu-* packages aren't something
derivatives need to remove - unless explicitly mentioned.

So to answer the question: You can still keep on using them, simply pull
in greybird-gtk-theme and albatross-gtk-theme (for 14.10 and later) or
shimmer-themes (for 14.04 and older - or for all the shimmer themes in
14.10 and later).

Thanks for the good question :)

Cheers,
Pasi
