Make a gtk-lookalike theme for e or windowmaker :)

RedHat has chosen to do it this way, to make sure that the user always
have at least one gnome-compliant window manager. There has been variuos
discussions here on this matter.

What we should remember is that the rpms are something that RHAD labs are
providing is kind of a bonus. They are not part of the gnome project. If
anyone wants rpms that are packaged in a different way, they are free to
do so...

Just my 0.02 whatever,
