Would we put them the menu system? have a new top level menu with Apps and
Games, themes that lists the themes for the current Window Manager and some
gtk themes.
So, in windows maker:

Debian Menu
 +-Apps-+-etc
 |      +-etc
 +-Games-etc
 +-Themes-+-Gtk-+-Metal
          |     +-Ice
          +-Window-maker-+-Traditonal
                         +-T.O2

And have the same in other windows managers (blackbox, enlightenment, fvwm,
twm?!) but with the Window maker theme menu replaced with the theme menu for
that window manager.

we could even make some new themes, how about twm, bash, mutt, slrn, pdmenu,
eterm?
