Funny that you say that, as a debian user: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ This is what a *good* linux distro does. BTW: redhat still put the KDE config files under /usr/share/config/ , right? If so: they have not yet finished their job (and their distro is not yet FSH-compliant, as they have plenty of configurable data under /usr) (BTW: every distro, even debian, puts some of its artwork as the default desktop) > > > > People can also change the default settings.

But do they really desrve two menu items? From a usability poin of view there shouldn't be too many menu items.

What "original packages" do you miss? The "about KDE" bits? Add a link to http://www.kde.org , and you're done. Default behaviour? Take some time, (10 minutes or so) to change this behaviour. Default theme? Change it!
