"I'd rather have it look good in one, then in none. . . . Besides I think the
default XFCE and GNOME color schemes are reasonably similar."
A reasonable argument.
"Also please remember that Ubuntu is a GNOMEish distribution primarily."
I disagree. Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xbuntu are all official Canonical-sponsored
projects, sharing the same codebase for all three. Linus Torvalds, Mark
Shuttleworth, Michael Dell, and many others use the KDE environment (i.e.,
Kubuntu). The default is Gnome, because it's the one most likely to appeal to
home users and computer novices, which seems to be a reasonable approach.
Best practice would be to make wine and other Ubuntu-distributed
packages desktop environment neutral, to the greatest extent possible.
In this case, I'm arguing that we should make the default to integrate
with _whatever_ desktop color scheme they have, but leave the fallback
colors alone. My reasoning is that folks like you and me want it to look
like their desktop. Those who don't probably want a Window-ish look and
feel (which is, IMHO, ugly).
Is there not already an option for Gnome users to pull the colors from
the desktop environment, like KDE users can in System Settings (which is
from the kde-system-settings package)? If not, what would that require?
I can't image it would be much harder for Gnome than for KDE.
But if I'm wrong, and something about the Gnome configurations make it
terribly time consuming, then perhaps the install script should decide
on the default color scheme depending on which desktop environment is
installed. For KDE, it would be "Get KDE Colors", for Gnome, it would be
the {perhaps hard coded for now) "Default Ubuntu Colors".
