So the application that's going to be one of the most central gnome apps
doesn't look like gnome by defautl?!?!? Don't do this please... if you
think the default gnome settings it to ugly or something, try to replace
them instead.

Smooth graphics is not a good name for this, I agreen with David Bishop
that separate the fonts into a own options. I also think that since it's
going to be a central part of gnome it sould use gnome system fonts by
default. I'm starting to get the feeling that the people working on
Nautilus are looking on gnome from the wrong perspective, the aim must
be to be a part of gnome. If gnome has flaws fix the flaws in gnome,
don't do a workaround in your own application.
