Someone recently asked for `themes.xfce.org' on IRC, which made me
re-think about this `apps vs. directory' question. If we name it
`directory.xfce.org' instead, you could include themes as well, and
people would no longer need to dive thru the forums to find interesting
themes.

I once started to collect various themes from the forum (all authors
agreed) and put them into a single autoconf'ed themes pack, but I cannot
maintain it, as it takes too much time out of me crawling thru the
forums, looking for new or updated themes. The latest version is
available at:

http://www.xfce.org/~benny/trials/xfce4-themes-pack-0.2.0.tar.gz

So, what do you think?
