Ok,
the only remaining problem seems for me how to name this package. I'd like
to name it now "kde-kdm-themes" and put for now only the krystal theme in

Would this name be Ok und would someone from the team sponsor this upload in
order to make ftp-masters sure, that this package is ok?
Kind regards
