The design team is doing more than just backgrounds and not everyone
there is busy with doing the backgrounds. The design team is also
helping with the websites design, various UI designs,... Please do not
oversimplify what the design team actually does ;-)

I expect you to do the final selections, not the design itself -- you
have the design team (the fedora one and the one at upstream) to help
with that and it would be nice if you at least consulted with us when
you are doing changes that are diverging from upstream defaults (I can
accept that when you decide to stick with upstream defaults you don't
need to hear fedora design team opinion about that).

Yup, I don't feel that what Jon and you have done is being ungrateful to
me. I've made the needed first step with providing actually good looking
alternative to the bland default engine (speaking now about the
notification-daemon only) and I am actually grateful that its being
replaced by something that is nice, instead of reverting back to the
ugly defaults. From time to time, changes are good thing.

But come to thing of it, now that the alternatives are starting to "pile
up", it would be actually great to have means to select the theme (other
way than via whole-gnome-desktop-theme or gconf).
