I started to make a light theme for ubuntu.
I would make a simple and nice theme not dark.
For metacity I have modified DarkRoom-Metacity a bit but I would also
change the metacity button.
This is only the first step, in the next days I will make a wiki page
and send the gtkrc file to test it.
This looks a lot like New Wave, only in my opinion it's worse because of the
simple Metacity and the glossy look of the highlight.

Sony Digi Cam works fine with 32 bit Xp.

I also take your point that if the new partition is corrupted it is only
that folder and not /home per se.
Many thanks for the feedback, much appreciated, Karl and Matt.
