  Famous last words. :) You never know what situations users will get themselves into. Maybe they discover the feature while testing with a live CD where the root filesystem isn't writable, for example.

  Yeah, that makes sense.

We could copy everything to a global directory and then remove it from the user directory (to avoid duplicates in kcms). What sucks is that users could no longer easily remove these theme files via kcms.
  
  
  Definitely something to ask @leinir about. The GHNS dialog would have to be involved in any event, either to (optionally or by default) install things globally, to know how to remove themes that are globally installed, and to de-duplicate themes that are installed both locally and globally.
  
  But yeah, material for another patch.
