Hmm, yes, "makes you able to use" is fairly horrible. > Description: GTK+-2.0 themes for Xfce > This package contains an Xfce program which can use various GTK2.0 > themes.

No, that doesn't say the same thing - gtk2-engines-xfce doesn't contain an executable that happens to use a particular theme, it contains some sort of plugin library thing... "theme engine" is rather a developer-centric label for it, but as long as the text goes on to describe what good it is that should be okay. So maybe: Description: GTK+-2.0 theme engine for Xfce This package contains a theme engine allowing users to apply various GTK2.0 themes to Xfce. It also contains some ready themes, but users are of course free to design their own.
