+ Added desktop theme.

Documentation is available in http://gnsaurora.rtfd.org/.
Thanks for the update. I liked the old version of the wallpapers
better, as they did not contain those hard edges.
I agree. I'll revert the change or try something new.
Concerning the start-here icons, I did not yet find a way to enable
those in gnome-shell. There has been an extension available for that
purpose:
https://github.com/fpmurphy/GNOME-3.2-Shell-Extensions/tree/master/address@hidden
but it does not seem to work with gnome-shell 3.4 that is included
in wheezy.
It should of course work with alternate desktop environments like Xfce.
I added the icons just in case they are needed to replace the Debian
swirl which is in /usr/share/icons/gnome, but I haven't seen the Debian
logo used in GNOME shell as much as it was in GNOME 2 (a good thing, I
think). In Debian 7 you can can select the icon theme from Applications
--> System Tools --> Advanced Settings --> Theme --> Icon Theme. But
nothing seems to change when you select something there.
In the commit notes it also says: added GTK theme, but I cannot find it.
Ah, well, it is supposed to be aurora/desktop/Aurora. You wont find the
actual themes for GTK 2 and GTK 3 because Aurora uses Adwaita's (see
aurora/desktop/Aurora/index.theme). So, aurora/desktop/Aurora is just
Adwaita but with different backgrounds and the gnewsense icon theme,
which inherits everything from gnome icon theme except the logo.
