The kdeartwork package bundles together several "look and feel" customizations (like kwin styles) and icon styles. The icon styles account for the lion's share of kdeartwork's disk usage: in my installation of Fedora Core 1, du -c /usr/share/icons/{Locolor,Technical,ikons,kdeclassic,slick} gives a total of over 22MB (even though though du -c --apparent-size gives only 6.5MB: icon themes are composed of the large number of very small files, which on ext2/ext3 occupy a full disk block regardless of their size). I want to use kdeartwork for the kwin styles and utilities, but would rather not pay 22+MB on my hard drive for a bunch of icon themes that I will never use. This problem is going to get worse with KDE 3.2: judging by the beta, 3.2 will add another icon theme ("kids"; apparent size 4MB, disk size almost 7MB) and move more kwin styles from kdecore to kdeartwork. It would not be necessary to package each icon theme separately, but if the icon themes as a whole could collectively be packaged as e.g. kdeartwork-icons, then it would be better. Thanks.
it should be fixed kdeartwork-3_1_94-0_2. thanks
