[lug] Gnome Desktop Themes.

[Justin]

Cool...setting up your desktop in linux can kinda be a pain sometimes. 
You should be able to find matching gtk themes for your windowmanager 
themes. That way your panel and gnome application bar will match your 
sawfish theme. Then, you can get matching xmms themes  :) And matching 
gkrellm themes too if you use that, hehe.
