I actually had one of my friends ask me why I suddenly started using Ubuntu -- he recognized the logo on one of the icons and heard me talking about Linux awhile back (he could vividly remember me describing the problems I had with Ubuntu in my days as a young grasshopper in the world of Linux). The artwork definitely needs to be generic. Even the TDM reference to Ubuntu needs changed -- I changed the theme the other day and when I turned on my laptop next, I was greeted with "Welcome to Ubuntu" (or something to that effect). Adding distro-agnositc options to cmake to change icons that most distros would change is definitely a good idea. Possibly even for the default greeting for KDM. -- Kristopher Gamrat
