Sounds like 'ugly' to me.

I actually agree with the Nautilus/Eazel crew that they have the freedom 
to do what they want.

In fact - by "default" i think they will have a Sawfish Crux theme, a 
Gtk+ Crux theme, and a Nautilus Crux theme which will flesh nicely 
together. 

So by default you will have a GNOME look. 

Theoretically, stock buttons should be themeable too, but they are not 
currently. Look for this in Gtk+ 2.0 though.
