usability problems is adjusting to titlebar font-size.  3 might be
rather easy, but will require some love from someone with artistic
skills (look at the Sanity theme to see how much I lack these). In fact,
it would be more or less trivial to re-skin Sanity's infrastructure,
which supports all the usability features that Klarth does (though I
haven't released the support for resizing the titlebar along with the
user's font, since scaling the flat images in Sanity looks awful with a
gdk-pixbuf sawfish).

Would it really be easy to re-skin Klarth or Sanity? Two of Klarth's features are its ability to match one's gtk theme and to resize itself proportional to one's font. Both of these features are hard to design decorations around, aren't they? I figured that this was one of the reasons that Klarth and Sanity have simple looks.
