that's sound sensible

where can I get it ?

this xmms theme is better as it is way shorter than the default one ->

slicker bar ... wow for post 9.2 release it could very cool ->
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=5658

I wonder why Mandrake don't use a heavily customize desktop ?
KDE :  slicker bar + others useful karamba theme + kicker ( but top
position, minimal, just to be sure every others apps will work with
menu, windows list, desktop switcher )

Gnome : gdesklet panel ( How can we put a menu ? if not possible this
should be implement ) + icon for most useful apps ( web browser, mail
client, multimedia app as totem, nautilus, multi protocol IM, ... ) +
gnome-panel at the top side ( minimum size with menu, logout lock,
screen shot, clock, windows list, desktop switcher )

others desktop like fluxbox/WM/... could have default settings maybe
with a galaxy theme + idesk ( default mdk icones )

This could give mdk a special signature. If this may not seems stable or
corporate enough, you may have the ability if you want an enhanced
desktop or a simple desktop ( default one ). One mdk strength was/is
supermount ( true now it's stable now ). Mdk need show a great feature
that will make users switch to it more or for newcomers make it at first
glance be more beautiful that XP/longhorn. Next KDE 3.2 will offer many
facilities but I think that things could be improve thanks to apps like
superkaramba/gdesklet. At this time Linux desktop is between XP and
MacOS X, but with default settings MacOS X and XP are more beautiful and
have more bells and whistles. Mdk should distinguish himself with
cutting edge default settings thus giving a special touch to mdk and
also will maybe help linux desktop having its touch. Concerning the
technologies Linux, MacOS X, XP are about to be equal ( even if I think
that MacOS X is superior ), now linux need to show it's technologie.
