Frankly, it doesn't matter much. The important point is it's *possible* 
to change the look; then, we should have screenshots showing that fact 
proeminently on the website, and have the livecd let the user change 
easily the UI if he wants to.

If somebody download gnustep *by hand*, install it, and see the NeXT 
look, he won't be scared: he would know that it's possible to change 
it.
