I'd love to see a new look. (The docs in the GTK+ tarballs
have a very slightly modified template, to at least get
rid of the multicolor look.)

I'm not sure about the stock icons ... won't that look funny
in devhelp, or Galeon when the stock icons are already there?
Also, they won't theme with the GTK+ icons.

It might be better to get Jimmac/Tigert to draw something else
that is like the stock icons without actually being the stock icons.
