Hi.
I'm flattered the old style has created such a strong emotional link
with the gtk+ developers, but I think they served it purpose. We don't
keep the 1.2 stock for sentimental reasons, and I don't see why we
should do that for the 2.0 set. 

Is there anyone willing to maintain the old GNOME look anymore? There is
a quite a number of talented artists that got the hang of the tango
style and the tango style really helps in the multi-platform department.
I see this as a no-brainer.

cheers
