For the record, after some discussion on -c sipb, I decided that
microGUI (the default sawfish theme) would make the best basis for the
Athena default theme.

Of course, I don't think that polling developers is the best way to
choose user interface aesthetics.  But I'm not sure if we have any
better options (usability testing gets the opinions of naive users,
but only a very small sample of them).
