Hi our mission statement is to remove docs that is not needed by the package itself. About kde artwork wow the first person who thinks it's bad ;) The maintainers of each DE can decide on that. XFCE4 and KDE have some artwork included, it's only some kind of arch logos and a background, so i don't see a problem here, most distros have that, so why we shouldn't do that. Click on default in each dialog and the default will appear again (at least in kde), else feel free to change kde-common package to your needs, the PKGBUILD explains where to change the stuff. Reviewers for example love to show some artwork in there reviews, else they could take the screenies right ahead from kde.org and how should this attract people? greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Archlinux Package Maintainer (tpowa) http://www.archlinux.org [EMAIL PROTECTED]
