+we need coherency between the desktops so we need the same default
+theme for gtk and kde apps.
+
+This is why i propose this :
+
+KDE => Oxygen
+GTK 3  => Oxygen-gtk3
+GTK 2  => Oxygen-gtk
+
+We can't use ia ora anymore for mageia  2 because we would need to
+recode all the theme for gtk3 so better leave it in peace and use a
+new one.
+
+As a gnome packager i started to package oxygen-gtk3 and i will work
+to have it usuable in our gnome 3.
