[Pkg-xfce-devel] "wildbush" xfwm4 theme - RC?

Hey,

I was recently looking through the various xfwm4 themes that will be
released with squeeze. I found that the wildbush theme exposes a bug in
xserver that causes xserver to crash. After the crash, xserver will fail
to start until the theme is changed back to something else (for many
inexperienced users, this will mean whipping their configs completely).

I think the only way to avoid having this have this happen to users in
squeeze is to remove that particular theme. I don't see the xserver bug
(which is report upstream), to get fixed before the squeeze release,
because I don't think in the perspective of the debian-x team, it will
be release-critical.

What do you all think about me filing an RC to have this theme removed
as a work around?

I assume because this has not yet come up, the theme is not very
popular. Would it be acceptable for me to file this against xfwm4-themes
as a  RC?
