Okay, so I drilled down (details attached).  Basically, it
comes down:
- new GNOME backgrounds
- 2 new cursor themes (DMZ-Black, DMZ-White)

Before you ask, yes, we could split the GNOME backgrounds out,
the cursor themes too.  Unless they all get merged back together
when importing into IPS  :p

So speaking about that, when the GNOME packages are imported
into IPS, all the devel packages are merged with the end-user
packages.  This includes 76M worth of API docs (/usr/share/gtk-doc,
9M compressed) among other things.  We could save significant
amount of space on the CD by tagging and filtering out the devel
bits.  If IPS filters were working (are they?) users could change
the filters to install the development bits.  Just a thought...
