I like removing the fuzz around the Debathena logo. Can you remove
the fuzz and gradient around the login box too?
I don't think losing the background is an improvement. If Jon or
someone else finds themselves with time to make a fancier background,
that'd be cool, but plain MIT maroon is good already. The bar along
the bottom should be plenty to make it look fresh and new as Bill wants.
