I mildly object.  What happens when someone running one of these themes
upgrades from GNOME-2.2 to GNOME-2.4?  Their theme will disappear and
randomly be replaced with the default.  If nothing else, we need to have
this in the Release notes somewhere.  But it would be kinder to warn
them, give a hint where to find it again, and migrate them to another
theme.  We should think this through.
