I hope this will be changed in the future :-)
SVG is the way to go, IMO.
Together with Xr/Xc extensions, Linux Desktop would be very cool to "work in" 
and very fast, too.

I compiled Nautilus 2.1.3 (together with some other GNOME 2.1.3 stuff) last 
weekend, and it works fine.  But gnome-control-center crashes all the time, 
so actually I can't change any theme.
Probably, I have to wait GNOME 2.2 and pray that it woul dbe more stable :-)
Is it on track (for Jan. 2003) or delayed?
