An overlay seems to me to be the perfect solution.
Additionally themes being in portage or an overlay (even just data packages) gives users the benefit of not having to check for updates from tons of different places for different themes. Just emerge --update world and all is taken care of. As far as gtk-1* itself is concerned, GNOME team does not want to maintain it - however several other developers have already stepped up (in past threads) to take over maintainership. Just need to formalize it with someone at some point in metadata.xml In other words - gtk1 is probably not going anywhere in the foreseeable future. -- Mart Raudsepp Gentoo Developer (wxwindows, gnome) Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Weblog: http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/leio
