FWIW, my opinion is that any deep integration is going to be hard, and that for the moment we should go with something much simpler: simply support mstheme files well, and provide themes that look like the default themes on Ubuntu / OpenSuse / Fedora.
I agree. I simply think any outside tools we develop should be used in conjunction with a proposed formal standard. If the MS formats are open there is no reason we cannot propose the usage of them, or a variation on them as part of FreeDesktop making Wine play nicer with everyone (mono and moonlight prove MS standards and formats can be of use for Linux). I'll spend some of the copious amounts of free-time I have at work researching for formats and we can continue the propose standard discussion off list later in the week.
