This does not appear to be a tarball in a format that I can drop into 
gnome theme manager preferences dialog to test it. If the theme is 
relatively complete by now, it would be useful to create a RPM and 
submit it for review, get into rawhide and provide updates as we progress.

Are you guys planning to include it before test 3 release or is it 
undecided yet whether we would be using this icon set as default for 
Fedora Core 6?
