Last time i proposed a call > for atwork: there's absolutely no reason why the default theming needs to be baked into the KDE (or other DE) packages themselves, in fact I would consider it much prefarable if it was in a seperate package (such as desktop-base) as that: - would make it something that can be done by different people (the people that are good at the technical DE-packaging are most likely not the same people that are good at theming work) - would make it possible for CDD's (or competing default Debian themes) to do their stuff without having to mess with the core DE-packages. This is something that can be done today, all the needed infrastructure is there, desktop-base already does this for gnome, and could though this for kde and xfce patch for that is given in wishlist bug #348702 (as an aside: that patch was submitted more then half a year ago I have yet to see any reaction/acknowledgment at all from the maintainer, idem for the other 2 wishlist bugs against that package, is desktop-base actively maintained ATM?). -- Cheers, cobaco (aka Bart Cornelis)
