I also agree.  There was a moment of "bah we are not a company" but in the 
end, I think a little help in giving our users a good looking default would 
go a long way.  Of course not being a KDE or GNOME user I would also like to 
see this extended to the simple window managers as well.

Provided we *ONLY* muck with things like colors, icons, and root images this 
should be fine.  Actually changing code like RH did to remove the About box 
would not be good.
