I can do the metacity and usplash work on this.

Usplash - Just get concepts for the usplash onto the wiki page - I can
go from there. Right now doing usplash work is a bit of a pain, usplash
is still broken in intrepid, I don't really know what is going on.

Metacity - How I write this depends on how the gtk theme is implemented.
_But_... I can do an initial version to get you guys started. I will
probably do a bunch with different button types. We will pick the best.

Base colours - we can do charcoal dust (present colouring) and dark
chocolate dust variants. I think the chocolate version would be quite
popular even to people who don't like brown too much.

Cheers,
