In the wmaker package I should install only what I need, not a lot of stuff 
that, probably I will not use. These packages are included in the 
debian/control file. For this reason, the wmaker package MUST install only the 
things that wmaker needs to run. (see below).

Ok, probably we need a new package "wmaker-standard" to include some dockapps 
and themes. We can work together on this, because can be included in the WMLive 
CD, other distros,...

Ok, Debian people!! what do you need in a new wmaker-standard package? What 
should the default Window Maker environment? Applications?
