That's my point. Maybe they shouldn't be in the db file. Why can't a
user or sysadmin specify entranced -t todaystheme.eet to override the db
file. Let's be honest. Working with edb files is not really easy. For a
product like entrance, a plain text file configuration setup would make
more sense. That way, it would be consistent with gdm, kdm, etc.

Yes, for example, I put in theme without an eet extension and blam! The
program should at least infer an .eet extension when there is none. It
should not be required for a theme. Or, if the theme is not found, just
load the default.
