OK, I heard a rumor that you guys shipped the GNOME preview with the
Metal theme (the old one which is really awful), so I thought you
might want to see it "nurtured" in the main package. Maybe the
long-term strategy is to have Metal copy the GTK theme instead? 
What's your "Java consistency plan"? ;-)
