At a time when we and the rest of the world are harping on and on about 
integration, it makes very little sense to maintain our own color scheme, 
separate from the rest of the user's applications. On top of being really 
awful to look at, I think it may also clash with the rest of the desktop, 
especially with all the eye-candy that we're expecting in KDE 4.

I vote for dropping it.

Actually, now that I think about it, maybe we should hunt for other such 
holdover features that don't make sense any more and vote on them all. 
Someone may actually be using them for some reason (like the file browser), 
but we may never know unless we look...
