As I mentioned at release-team yesterday, Oliver, Susan, and I would be
happy to take ownership of the aesthetic stuff off of dev's plate so
that dev can concentrate on everythine else to be done.  (This is not to
say that we intend to make decisions in a different vacuum, just that we
can do the remaining leg work to settle this side of things, in
particular to get to the point where TPS has an accurate picture of AUI.
Pun intended.)

The three of us will meet tomorrow in n42-253, either at 9am or 3pm; if
anyone else wants to come, state a time preference and we'll go with
that.  Agenda is to review where we are and decide on next steps for:

  - icons
  - background color
  - theme*

* While it's pretty much settled on eazel, Greg mentioned that the new
  default sawfish theme (crux, designed by the same person) has a
  left-justified title, if we want to take a last look at that issue.
  There's a screenshot at:

P.S. to Beland: if you can make it, that would also give us a chance to
talk about getting your updated menus to their final home.  Otherwise,
ping me sometime...
