[Lincs] LLUG Distro

[iain Baker]

how much themeing are we thinking? i can start on some level of
background, and i will even give a KDE menu side bar a bit of a
whirl... if we can slim KDE down enough!  i can try a few other bits
as well but i don't know how far we want to go...  like what
multimedia player are we using, does that want a skin... do we want an
entire window decoration theme or just colour changes...

i agree, i little more colour may be nice - but we dont wanna go too
loud or busy!  maybe after i have created a background i may have some
idea where to go with it...

we'll figure something
