Hehehe, clear picture?

To be honest, I find this whole matter a mess.
I think Gnome is clean and nice now, but the theming is still a mess...

There are X ways to change the appearance with themes. Then you have
several different engines which are used for theming. Some themes should
be un-tarred other should use the theme-GUI.

I just wish that we'd clean it up so that there would be _one_ true way
to change the appearance with themes.
