I think I get your entire point now. So Geramik is for those who solely uses KDE as desktop, but don't touch GNOME desktop at all. They usually use KDE apps, but occasionally use GTK+ apps, and want to make those GTK+ apps look consistant with the whole Keramik theme. Isn't it? However, I see why Fred has removed your scripts, since the effect of your %post/%postun scripts has gone too far -- it affected *ALL* persons who use GTK+ software. Besides, it still remains correct if no %post/%postun scripts is used, since people who want it can still use it anytime, and nothing is lost. > If they don't want it (I'd want to hear this from > Laurent first, as it's really for KDE users.

As I have said, you've gone too far. At least you have to write the scripts in such a way that, only those who use desktop in THAT way is affected. Yes, you have to make sure that people installed KDE desktop only, and if people install GNOME desktop later, your changes have to be undone immediately and nicely. That means you need to make Geramik cope with people's change in behavoir. > > If the above is not achieved, Geramik will just be a > > normal > > theme, nothing more, nothing less (quoted). > > No, that's still wrong.

Yes, I do understand your point now, but still think what you proposition (its "intended usage") is flawed: can knife manufacturers say that knives are only for slicing food, and they prohibit people to use it differently?
