Find a good gtk theme for QVGA screens

Description

We need to find a better gtk theme that takes smaller screens into account. Most gtk apps waste a lot of space and are somewhat unusable due to the small resolution. I'm pretty sure some gtk themes already exist in OE and are used by the openmoko project, I just need to check them out and see how well they work with the OSWALD.

We will probably also have to checkout qt themes in the future as well.

It appears that we will need to hack up our own GTK theme since the openmoko qvga theme looks terrible on the OSWALD. However, we probably can still use the openmoko qvga theme as a base for our efforts or at least take ideas from it.

Since we'll need to manually construct our own theme I don't think this will happen from Radix 2 unless someone gets really inspired.

At this point it will be good enough to get a better matchbox theme in place and possibly change the default gtk+ filechooser to work better with a smallscreen for Radix 2.

Moving to wishlist for now.
