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?

He's definitely not the first person who raised objection to that.  I mentioned 
that myself a while back.  (That I thought it went against the Arch way a bit.)

For the most part, you're right, and it's easy to switch the artwork.  But some 
of it is not easy to switch (e.g., the wombat icon in .default.face.icon that 
you see displayed next to the usernames in KDM).

I do understand your reasons for including it (i.e., for screenshots in reviews 
like you said), but personally I still think the Arch artwork should just be an 
option that you can switch to rather than the default.

In any case, I've long ago come to terms with the fact that this is just the 
way it's going to be, and so don't really pay much attention to this anymore.
