Don't fret for too long about that. KDE 3.2 will have a much improved 
theme/style/tweak manager in it. Myself and a few others in the KDE 
development team, including Mosfet (who looks to be heading this 
mini-project) have been discussing this very thing on kde-devel. This theme 
manager would handle cursors, ksplash/ml themes, fully themed kdm screens and 
UI elements such as styles, etc. If there are features that people would like 
to see in this, post them my way.
