"The default theme in Ubuntu is "Human"."
Ubuntu isn't the only install that the wine package must support. We must also
support Kubuntu, Xbuntu, and Edubuntu, all of which are standard Ubuntu
installs. The default color scheme for each of those are much different.

There's nothing about wine that suggests its user interface should have the
Gnome desktop settings hard-coded into it. In point of fact, the current
defaults look better with Kubuntu than would the Human orange, red, and
brown.

"Requests to support native themes with Wine are likely to be much
more difficult to solve leaving us with no interim solution. Those
requests should be placed in another (upstream) bug."

We _already_ support native color schemes. The problem is that apparently it
doesn't work for the Gnome desktop, or we wouldn't be having this discussion.

I'll take a stab tonight at figuring out why it works for Kubuntu but not
Gnome. I'll get back with you before the week is out.
