Hi, here in Debian Package you can find both Nimbus Engine and Icon Theme.
See you.

I’ve found this package. I’ve solved my problem.

I love this gtk theme but there is a problem. Yesterday I’ve dist-upgrade my debian box. I use testing repository and they just have updated xorg and gnome. When I was using gnome 2.14 this was my theme:

This diatribe began some months ago. This kind of discussion could have had some different ends but I would not have never imagined what has happened. Gnome developers invited Linus to try the desktop enviroment, but he doesn’t just try it, he wrote patches to improve the gnome usability:

Clean-up-double-middle-right-click-frame-action.patch (metacity)
Add-lower-and-menu-to-title-bar-action-events.patch (metacity)
Add-the-prefs.c-variables-for-middle-and-right-click-actions.patch (metacity)
Allow-actually-changing-preferences-for-middle-and-right-click.patch (metacity)
Fix-some-obvious-and-harmless-cut-and-paste-errors.patch (metacity)
Add-support-for-new-titlebar-actions.patch (control center)
gnome-window-properties-learn-about-mouse-actions.patch (control center)

I use gnome, I use gnome exclusively but Linus did a good thing. No more word, just act! And, for the records, these simple patches are useful.
