If not, then IMO at least one of the two need to stay, as thin > clients are still used in setups of a certain relevance (think school labs > or something of the sort). Do we have to include by default a visually outdated theme (Laptop) or an even broken theme (Plastik) just for thin clients? Is this the primary target group of our user base? Is it acceptable to ship by default an additional theme which puts KDE into a bad light by most users just for a minor use case?
We have to remember that Thin-Clients need major adjustments to the default settings. E.g. running compositing is completely unsuited for a network transparent solution. Also the Qt graphics system backend has to be changed to native. I think it is acceptable to install another window decoration from kde-artwork to get something for thin clients. Personally I would prefer to see a proper thin client solution consisting of a lightweight window decoration, a light weight widget style. At the moment the default KDE Plasma theme is everywhere completely unsuited for the use in thin client setups. Cheers Martin
