I have already installed CVS. After another update, I will be ready. ;)

Why do we need this? There is a theme-value in the prefs, which can be 
used to get the right path to an image.

Ok, I'll see what I can do. Give me a little time as I have not too much 
of it. But maybe next week, there will be a patch. Depends on the 
surprises while trying to code that one... :)

One question: I think Jan wrote a couple of days ago, that there are 
some directories below /graphics/themes/, which will carry the graphics 
for the themes. Is this already in use, or just the result of copying 
the graphics?

This could be done in a second step. Lets wait what the core-team think 
about it.
