But on the bright side, since the themes all work with current trunk, 
they will all work with 0.23 when it's released.  (If they worked with 
0.22-fixes, they wouldn't work with 0.23.)  :)

And, yes, a big thanks to the theme developers and all of those who 
helped out with putting together the theming contest.
