 Which part, the one claiming that a dialog that appears usually only for a 
short while doesn't need decorations because if people actually do need them 
they use it unusually, or the one claiming that a system dialog should look 
unusually to make it obvious that it's unusual?

 Also, "only shown as long as a given action is being prepared or performed" 
either does not apply to minicli or applies to quite many things, depending 
on the interpretation, and "is shown specifically to aid in the completion of 
that action or task" is true for every dialog, not just minicli.

 No. I wonder what a wrong position of the clock has to do with minicli.

 Oh, so we're to fork basic components just in order to get normal widgets and 
normal borders on them? That's a) rather ridiculous, b) not necessary - I can 
force the borders on with KWin, and assuming the SVG theming is there in 
order to actually allow theming, I can also theme it back to normal.

 Hmm, which, thinking of it, means there's no need to continue this 
discussion, problem solved, case closed. Does fixing KRunner's possible 
insufficient theming support also require forking?
