hrm - not sure that its a 'misfeature' but certainly the way some are
implemented is. Personally, I'm developing Jewel-OBJC to more or less
use a plugin strategy, its not there yet, but this would also, of
course, then encompass theming, if so required. At which point, you
could have a module that reads a particular kind of theme file, plug
that in, and magically have a desktop that looks like something
completely different. Then again, I want to do the same with most of the
handling from the window mangler. That way, you can tailor it to be as
minimilistic or bloated as you like, and by using shared libs or modules
you can handle a whole plethora of random crap.
Just my 2ps, happy to be argued down on this, but I'm trying to go for
the 'little bits that do their jobs well' approach.
