Thanks for you interest in my package and thanks for the hints. I'd really
like to maintain some KDM-themes if this is possible. But I have some
questions about the future practice.
As I understand you, I should take a few (lets say five for the start)
themes and put them all together in a package named kde-kdm-themes. But
what I'd really like to see in this case is, that I/we should be able to
add some themes in the future in this package.
I'd like to emphasis this point because, kdm-themes are quiet new (since
3.4.2 I think) and not even enabled by default in debian (which I requested
a few weeks ago BTW ;).
So chances are high, that in the next moths better themes will appear and it
would be sad if we had to stick with old themes just because I was "mad
now" to upload some packages.
If it would be possible to add some themes from time to time, than I'd get
my hands on some top-10-on-kde-look-org themes an make a new package in the
next days.
And when we talk about kdm-themes -- would it be possible to uncomment the
"UseTheme=True" line in kdmrc in future (>= 3.4.2) versions of kde?
Kind regards
Bastian
