This gets into another sticky issue, what's the "default" gnome
configuration.... because, of course, whatever that is should be what
we're doing with the screenshots. Frankly, I don't think it should be the
default GTK theme, as it looks like crap. :)

This also gets into the debate of what the default window manager should
be... (sawmill). :)
