Well, I was looking at how the window decorations, background, and
apps (including Nautilus) all looked together. (Since it would be bad
to pick nice colors for each of them individually and then find out
later that they looked bad together.) The default Nautilus theme
looks *so* horribly bad it'd be silly to match against that, and
Crux-Teal happens to have that nifty background.
