That wastes space. Why would you want to install a theme several times
for each user when you can just install it once and have everyone use it?

I have another proposal... remove all themes from portage. We only need ebuild

install. Any user can go to www.X-theme.org watch the screenshot, download the
theme and install it.
We must mantain ebuild of themes that need a build system or complex operations
(again gtk-engines).
I did it some similar with ebook-ebuilds. I removed all ebook-ebuild from
portage and create an user script to download and install them.

Hi,
I posted this to the bugzilla, but was redirected here, so:
INTRO:
I have just a small proposal. There are many theme packages in portage,
but many good are still missing, the problem I actually noticed when
creating my own ebuild for comix cursors, is that there is really a mess
in theme packages. They are both in media-gfx and x11-themes, they are
named without any convention.
PROPOSAL:
1) create a new directory in portage root eye-candy [or similar]
2) move all theme packages in there
3) follow the naming convention: [application]-[type]-[name] (for gentoo
cursors this would be x11-cursors-gentoo, or for kdm theme tux mania it
would be kdm-theme-tuxmania)
4) keep original packages as meta packages with notice, that users
should upgrade
