Hi Andrea!
Now we're back at square one again. Great! :(

Heh, well, not quite. Seriously, we can go for this as it's not that 
different from the other one and might have some usability advantages 
(feed me with arguments please, "I don't like it" don't count unless you 
happen to be Paul Rand) + the colors seems to go a bit better with 
Clearlooks and gnome-icon-theme.
The Big Question Now is how we technically get anything at all to be the 
default in svn. Help fix this, anyone!
