and plasma themes are plasma addons. *shrug* i'm not sure what is more 
annoying:

* having plasma artwork with the rest of plasma addons, so when you grab the 
addons you also have to pull down the art but when you grab the artwork 
package you don't get any plasma stuff

* having to also grab kdeartwork to get plasma stuff, meaning we're now up to 
four modules one must track (kdelibs, kdebase-workspace, kdeplasma-addons and 
kdeartwork)

i think it does make thematic sense to have them in artwork as that's where 
the extra wallpapers, icons, etc. are.

it may also make other apps feel like desktoptheme is less plasma specific and 
more available to any KDE app. maybe the default desktoptheme should move to 
kdebase-runtime even; now that the lib is in kdelibs, and it relies on a theme 
being available to it, it doesn't make sense to have the desktoptheme in 
workspace.

that's a non-issue, really. the size will go somewhere, after all. if anything 
else, now people need to download even more stuff they may not care about to 
get plasma themes.
