These arguments sound like the right way to me too.

I would also think it would be nice to provide in the default config a few more 
background images so that users may not be frustrated by the current rootmenu 
that proposes to change this, picking 1 or 2 neutral ones. I'm thinking about 
this image that reminds me when I discovered WMaker and that made it look soooo 
cool:

We could propose a configure option '--without-extra' or alike so that it is 
easy to have a lightweight install?

We should propose also 2 or 3 full themes, using the 'themed' format so they 
can serve as examples for people who wants to see how to do it!
