FYI, about the "Tango compliance". People in Ayatana are not working only for Ubuntu, and certainly not only for GNOME. Breathe is the perfect exemple of a community project that has between nothing and nothing to do with GNOME or Tango, I don't see why it would follow guidelines that are not relevant to what it is.

Consistency is certainly not "clone(gnome) && clone(tango)". This is lack of innovation and diversity. There certainly are great things in every project, but I don't see why you would feel the need for everyone to just "paraphrase" what's been done already. GNOME HIG and Tango are not perfect, and they don't make everyone happy. It's certainly not their goal, but it seems to be the belief of some of their advocates...

And sorry, but I don't see the link between Ubuntu's openness and UX guidelines.
