Maybe if openSUSE adopted a green version of the stripes and Debian had 
a tinge of Red to it.  Then the Gnome design people would have 
effectively given other distro-based designers a holiday too.

I see legitimate concerns from both sides and the fact that the 
wallpaper (in question) is blue, makes the Gnome proposal attractive. If 
this is really a one-time thing and other distros buy it ... I think we 
can live with it (though I wish Fedora had a stronger set of icon themes 
to match the coming gnome graphics ... we could score great points there)
