Hi
I think the whole attitude started out with the introduction of bluecurve. I dont think peoplethe funny thing is that SuSE has a likewise patched KDE :-) (as does Mandriva and most others; almost all distros use a non-default theme of some form) but... nobody who was so violent and loud about RH changing the default theme complains about them ;) Must be not popular to pointlessly moan about those, while it seems to be a sports to do so about RH / Fedora
realise how close Fedora is to upstream now compared to previous versions of RHL
