And in case anybody didn't notice the first time, Industrial (no idea
about SmoothGnome) does not work properly with several applications,
such as Yelp and applications written with gtkmm, pygtk, and Gtk#:

I feel that this would be a regression if we default to this theme and
we don't fix it. Hopefully we will, but I would personally expect this
change to be reverted if the bug isn't fixed before GNOME 2.8.0. It's
not my decision though.

By the way, I am not complaining about anybody not fixing this for me.
Ideally I would fix it myself.
