The current plan is to include the one default "Clearlooks" theme in 
gtk-engines.

I am not sure what the plans are for gnome-themes, although  most 
likely is that it will just include the Metacity theme and metatheme if 
it does include a Clearlooks entry.

The current arrangement is that we track upstream CVS, although we are 
going to manage Clearlooks bugs on GNOME bugzilla.

That is the current default configuration.
