I upgraded only gtk2-engines-clearlooks package and Clearlooks has
disapeared from theme menu.. so I upgraded gnome-themes and Clearlooks
appeared again.
I did the same test procedure as mentioned before:
I see that progress animation is off and performance is similar to simple
theme, except of Xorg process (it still takes about 7-10%), so it seems much
better.
Now I am a bit worried that gnome-theme is from gnome-2.12 and the rest of
my gnome is still 2.10, but it looks stable so far.

In the future, if some will still want that animated progress bar, could you
put it as an option somewhere in gconf-editor?

Thanks for great work!

p.s. redraw after desktop switch seems also to be faster (I don't see the
background flashing for a moment if it is covered by windows).
the active window title and active menu colors seems to be darker, giving
better contrast, very nice!
