This is my first post, but I had to respond to the Dust theme. In short- an extremely effective and well thought out design. Many have already commented on the cleanliness of the look, so I don't want to be too redundant. But that is great work. Being a first time poster, I probably don't have a ton of credibility, but I do have a strong background in fine arts and industrial design. So I can say with a certain level of confidence that if you take hints from some of the suggestions that have already come, i.e. fine tuning the button shapes, small details like that, then you are well on your way to a first rate, default-theme-worthy effort, and more than adequate to be included in the default install theme package. So if Tonic did do the metacity work and we had a usable theme, I would almost guarantee that it'd be at least /my/ default choice. But... that's just my two cents.
