Meeting and status info on AUI aesthetics:

The meeting will be at 3pm; I've taken comments and requests on the icons
to date and added them to the /aui/notebook/icons page.  John Kramer is
effectively out for the latter part of this week, although we should have
any further recommendations waiting for him when he returns Monday.
(Note that by both our experience and their explicit request, they prefer
to have a single consistent input stream which is prefiltered, complete,
and non-contradictory; this function will probably go to the N42
triumvirate, although aside from the noted tweaks, their role should be
done, anyway.)

As far as backgrounds go, I think the current tiled background is
decent.  The nice thing about N42-253 is that we can eyeball it in
realtime and make a final call on it all.

As far as themes go, crux *does* look decent.  Hmm.

(We should use the matching Nautilus theme, obviously.  If applicable.)
