I plugged in Mozilla's Theme Manager into the staff client (Admin ->
For Developers -> Theme Manager), but it's only going to work with
specially packaged theme files.  It should be possible to take an
arbitrary skin from the Firefox world and repackage it so that it'd
work with the staff client, but I don't know the specific steps that
would be involved (and only certain stylings would be applicable,
because such a theme would be targeting things that exist in Firefox
and not xulrunner/Evergreen).

In the past, I did this horrible hack of merging xulrunner's
classic.jar with one from a theme file and it did look good, but I
feared it (the 1.2 windows client had this).  The Theme Manager is the
way forward.
