It's much prettier than the skin I did.

A few comments:

- the person icon to the left of the logged-in account name looks a 
little strange
- I'm not a UI guy, far from it, but the sort of grey-ish background in 
the title bar is a tad dark such that it's hard to see the blue of the 
Fedora infinity logo.
- In both Seamonkey 1.1 and Konqueror 3.5.2 the tab boxes are slightly 
below the horizontal line. I'm at 1600x1200.
- Konqueror isn't rendering bullet points, just the indented text (see 
FAQ or Building for examples).
- As we discussed in IRC it doesn't really work with IE6. The left nav 
bar doesn't render and the top screen image doesn't render properly 
either. I just see a dark grey triangle in the upper-left. The tab boxes 
are slightly below with this browser as well.
