 Now this is going a bit far.  The aircraft sized buttons are bad since they
add inconsistancy into the gnome environment.  Try using text only buttons
and notice how the aircraft sized buttons still have pictures.  I actually
really like gnome 2 because it is simple and looks really nice.

 So the reasons to remove the patch are:
1) Makes gtk depend on a gconf(gnome) preference
2) Doesn't follow gnome conventions for buttons.

 The problem is with libgtk2.0-0 right?
