kdelibs and kdebase together take about 13.5 MB as a tar-ball.
by moving the Eclipse and McBreizh-Theme and the 
locolor-icons (about 250K) into a separate module we could easily 
save the user from being forced to download 1MB of data 
which might be useless to him. Perhaps we could even save
another 1MB concerning artwork by taking further actions.
I'll probably look into that during/after CeBit.
 
Putting the rather optional artwork into a separate module 
(together with some further wallpapers, icons etc.) seems to be 
a good solution to me. People who need locolor-icons or want 
some further excellent/basic themes to play with can still 
download the kde-extra-package if they want to.
