And you did not report that to bugs.kde.org because?

Other than selecting "wallpaper" in the contents section.

Other than selecting the parts that you want to include in your theme in the 
contents section before creating your theme.

I am looking forward to hear your suggestions for improvement. Or even better, 
patch it yourself directly, you have CVS access right?

I mean, the current theme manager might not be the greatest thing of all but 
since I ported it to KDE 2.0 I have only heared people bitching about that we 
need a better theme manager and nobody fixed anything in the theme manager 
that we had or came with constructive suggestions how to improve it.

Cheers,
Waldo
