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
