Re: SVG themes in GNOME2.4

[Christian Fredrik Kalager Schaller <Uraeus linuxrising org>]

Ok, we are getting back to square one here. So what are the feelings on
these three option:
1) Add Gorilla and Nuvola to gnome-themes, not removing anything
2) Add gnome-themes-extras to the GNOME 2.4 release
3) Leave it as it is today with gnome-themes-extras being released as a
separate package outside the desktop.
