Great, I had hoped so.

Ah, ok. Well, I may have formulated it as such because I mostly use QtCurve these days… ;-)

I haven’t investigated that.

I see.

Good.
So, let’s go for IT! :)

Yep, it should not be the default setting of a MacPorts/KDE installation anymore.

QtCurve does a fine job and thus should become our default theme.

We just need some magic in post-destroot of kdelibs4-runtime, I guess.

And thus we need to make every real KDE application depend on kdelibs4-runtime or even better kde4-workspace and not only kdelibs4 anymore, to be sure that the port allows and instructs the user to use kcmshell or the systemsettings app to get the correct preset for QtCurve.
