Looks very cool. But why "replace" classic? I understand it has 
problems, but why not add the Bamboo one, and let people that want to 
use Classic for one reason or another continue to do so?

I think you can continue to work locally if you want to, but commiting 
Bamboo.svgz and Bamboo.desktop to the repository would allow translators 
to start working with it.
One thing I considered is to rename the current default (for tiles, and 
maybe for other game elements like layouts and thems as well) to a 
different name. After this is done, we can make "default.desktop" 
something we can change at every release, if necessary. So if we decide 
for example that Bamboo is very cool when it is done, we could alias 
default.desktop to it for 4.3. People that want to use the old default 
would still find it there, as well as Classic, and all others.

Opinions?
