this is bound to be a hot topic since everyone has their favourite theme and 
will argue to the hills and back for it, but for the record i completely 
agree with this guy. others observing users like Pinto seem to agree:

	First Topic: Keramik. People tend to like it very much, but after a week or 
	so, they tend to change it to a simpler theme, like Light, or dotNET. "It's 
	very nice, but it tends to get in my way", one said. 
	Seems people tend to dislike pushbuttons.

personally, i liked keramic for about a week of using kde 3. then it became 
just too glitzy and ott for general usage. sure it gives kde it's "own look", 
but is it really worthy of being the default look? i'm thinking not.

let the flame wa...er...discussion commence :-)
