One thing that has constantly irked me in all distro's of linux, windows,
etc, is the lack of a unifed theme manager.  This is all too late for Dapper
but how hard could it be to make a little theme manager,  where one could
install a FULL theme. I don't mean the theme manager that exists now in
gnome, but a complete one.  If I want to theme my computer all one way I
have to do alot of things to make it consistant.  I need to get a
bootsplash, a gdm theme, a desktop background, a login splash image, an icon
set, a widget set, a cursor theme, and a windowmanager theme.  Then I have
to apply most of them individually.  Why not allow there to be (using a
common compressed file or .deb) file that can be loaded to COMPLETELY them a
computer?  Then you could download community created themes and install them
with one click.   If you've ever looked at someones screenshots of their
themes running, you know that they had to do some serious tweaking
sometimes.

I know this is late to bring up but Ubuntu really needs this imho.  Any
pro's/con's, other ideas, or anything else? Am I missing something here?
