[ubuntu-art] New Wave : pixmap buttons

[Mario Viviani]

In my opinion pixmap is not the answer. Every pixmap theme i tested on
my machine was slower and less efficient than engine ones.
So i think we're better focus on Clearlooks or Murrine. If murrine-svg
is going to be released in late August i think we have to focus on
Clearlooks.. I prefer Murrine but time of development and testing is the
main problem...

Aurora is too slow? Maybe i can make a prototype using Aurora...
