> both the application and the themes can be fixed.

> The idea to change the colour of deprecated widgets is to expose any

> maintainers and others to write patches and port applications to use
> non-deprecated widgets.

> release of GNOME (due on February 4th). If this is implemented, we would
> probably also have a "Clearlooks Stable" theme, so that it is still
