+This theme manager should handle installing, removing
+and creating global visual KDE themes. It's written
+from scratch, totally unrelated to the old kthememgr
+which was not maintained and obsolete.

+A KDE theme consists of:
+========================
+- wallpapers or bg colors
+- icons
+- sounds
+- color scheme
+- cursor theme
+- window decorations
+- screensaver
+- name of the widget theme
+- themed apps (mainly Konqueror and Kicker)
+
+
+Sample XML theme config file:
+=============================
+<ktheme version="1">
+<general>
+    <author value="Me" />
+    <email value="[email protected]" />
+    <homepage value="http://me.home.com" />
+    <version value="0.1" />
+    <comment value="this is a nice theme, bla bla" />
+</general>
+<desktop number="0" common="true|false">
+    <mode id="Flat|Pattern|*Gradient" />
+    <color1 rgb="#123456" />
+    <color2 rgb="#123456" />
+    <blending mode="" balance="" reverse="true|false" />
+    <pattern name="fish" />
+    <wallpaper url="theme:/wallpapers/desktop/image.jpg"
+	mode="Centred|Tiled|CenterTiled|CentredMaxpect|TiledMaxpect|Scaled|CentredAutoFit" />
+</desktop>
+<icons name="crystalsvg" />
+<sounds>
+    <event object="global|kwin" name="eventname" url="theme:/sounds/file.wav" />
+    ...
+</sounds>
+<colors contrast="7">
+    <alternateBackground rgb="#123456" object="global|kwin"/>
+    ...
+</colors>
+<cursors name="theme_name" />
+<wm type="builtin|custom" name="kwin_lib_name">
+    <buttons left="M" right="HIAX" />
+    <border size="number" />
+</wm>
+<konqueror>
+    <wallpaper url="" />
+    <bgcolor rgb="#123456" />
+</konqueror>
+<panel>
+    <background url="theme:/wallpapers/panel.png" colorize="true|false" />
+    <!-- or -->
+    <transparent value="true|false" />
+</panel>
+<widgets name="Style Name" />
+<screensaver name="saver.desktop" />
+</kdetheme>
+
+
+Theme storage:
+==============
+- a gzipped tarball, directory tree based (e.g. theme.kth)
+
+
+Sample dir tree:
+================
+-- mytheme.kth
+   - mytheme.xml
+   - mytheme.preview.png
+   - sounds/
+   - wallpapers/
+     - konqueror/
+     - desktop/
+     - panel/
+
+     
+The notion of "url" here:
+=========================
+- local: points to an already installed file in the system
+  (must be a sole filename, e.g. "background.png"); this differs
+  according to the theme part (ie. can be different for sounds
+  and/or wallpapers)
+- theme: relative to the root of the theme tarball or directory
+  (e.g. theme:/wallpapers/desktop/image.png)
+- other URLs are not allowed, the file must be contained
+  either in the theme or in the target system
