xmms requires /usr/share/xmms/Skins/Bluecurve-xmms.zip, as that is its default skin. This is all fine and good, except Bluecurve is a trademark of Red Hat and Red Hat trademark guidelines do not allow distribution of the Bluecurve themes if they are called "Bluecurve". Therefore, xmms must be recompiled if the theme changes name. It would be much better if xmms could require /usr/share/xmms/Skins/default which would be provided by redhat-artwork as symlink to Bluecurve-xmms.zip, or to do something similar.
Havoc, opinions?
I'd say the basic problem is that xmms has its default theme hardcoded in the binary instead of in a configuration file or schemas file. That's what I'd tend to fix. symlink hacks might break stuff, aside from aesthetic issues.
Well, we can take out the literal Requirement:; xmms will just throw up an error on startup and use the default skin if redhat-artwork isn't installed.
Fixed in 1.2.8-1.
