i actually have a number of detail-level issues with the UI :) i'll document 
them on the wiki, however, and i'd like to first do some quick user testing 
over the next 2 days to get some additional input on it.

i think so, yes.

that's not a bad idea and fits nicely with the concept. question then becomes 
how to include that (if at all?) in the package path resolution. given that 
form factor can be dynamic at runtime, this would imply the possibility of 
runtime changes of the package paths and a need to re-render certain bits of 
the UI as a result.

i don't think it fits neatly with PLASMA_PLATFORM (which we have discussed 
previously on the list) so that's out. (though we may have a similar can-be-
changed-at-runtime issue here in future)

FormFactor sounds like the best option for now; would be interesting to try it 
at least...

+1

they either:

* belong as modifications of the default theme
* belong in the device specific folder specializations inside individual 
packages
* should not exist
