I think we picked up André's theme because it was consistent and rather complete. It was nice to have it around for the technical implementation of the desktop-base integration, and we learned a lot of it (for example the gdm requirements, the non-support of some SVG variations in KDE etc.). Now, I'm happy if we ship etch with this theme or with another better one; I think there's still time to update desktop-base with new data files, even if I personally don't consider this to be necessary (IOW: it's cosmetic and not risky, I don't care one way or the other). -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "I have no strong feelings one way or the other." -- Neutral President -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
