We are now in the UI Change Announcement Period, so all user interface
changes must be announced to gnome-doc-list gnome org 

I don't really have any opinions on your changes, but they definitely fit
in better with the changes to the Clearlooks GTK+ theme. I.e. the new
buttons match the new glossy scrollbars. I don't actually particularly
think GNOME should have a glossy look, but since no one has made any
objections I don't have a problem with it. I can always choose a different
theme :-)

This is a slight concern, especially from a usability point of view. How
does the theme look with a large title bar font?
