So basically there is a patch to enable theming of the ksmserver

Reviewing my
current Trinity 3.5.12 desktop at work,
I have found a number of additional useful kcontrol applets
that are not in the current 3.5.13. I'm not saying they are
needed, but for discussion, here they are. Basically a diff
of the entries is:
(in 3.5.12 Archlinux - Albert Vaca build)
Appearance & Themes
KSM Theme Manager
Internet & Network
Local Network Chat
Network Interfaces
Protocols
Samba
Wireless Network
Zeroconf Service Discovery
Peripherals
CD-ROM Information
Devices
DMA-Channels
ICC Color Profile
Interrupts
IO-Ports
Partitions
PCI
Processors
SCSI
Sound
USB Devices
X-Server
Power Control
Laptop Battery
Many of these hold very useful information from /proc
and /etc in a tabular layout (eg: Peripherals/Partitions). I
don't know if these are/were standard of some distro
specific addons, but they were most likely not arch
additions. I have updated the side-by-side comparison to
include this layout. The side-by-side now has kcontrol
layouts for:
I don't know how your packages were built. All but the theme manager are standard in
3.5.13 and GIT, at least with my Slackware builds. I'm not patching anything to obtain
those modules.
