They all look fine to me.  No need to run them by me before committing
them if you deem them appropriate.  Sounds like a good idea to have
several themes available for users.

|What does rigamarole exactly means ? This looks like an italian word...


My Oxford English Dictionary doesn't have `rigamarole' listed, but
WordNet (r) 1.7 has it listed as a synonym of "rigmarole", which my
Oxford English traces as far back as middle 18th century English where
it was a colloquial alternative to the term `ragman roll' which is
tracable back as far back as Middle English (pre-16th century) and a
derivative of `ragman' which showed up also in Middle English and which
the Oxford English states is perhaps tracable back to Old Norse.
`ragman', in Middle English, was another name for the devil and also
could mean a ragged person.

The current English pronounciation of `rigmarole' is like,
rig-uh-muh-roll, with accent on the first syllable.  For `rigmarole' it
is like rig-muh-roll with the same accent.  I expect the Italian
pronounciation would have been something like, rig-uh-muh-roll-ee with
stress on the first syllable, rolled `r's, a drawn out rolllllllll, a
sharp ee at the end, and hand gestures I won't attempt to document.  :)

Anyhow, now, from WordNet (r) 1.7:

rigamarole: n 1: a set of confused and meaningless statements
~              2: a long, complicated, and confusing procedure;
~              *all that academic rigamarole was a waste of time*

I was attempting to use the word in sense 2, above.

Ok, though I would like to mention that as I have been learning more
about copyright lawsuits with this SCO-Linux suit and others, I have
started to see more sense in the FSF's copyright disclaimer policy.  I
wish we knew what was going on there.  Perhaps a `ping' of the folks
there is in order?

|Thanks for the info.

/usr/share/texi2html-version/images/

|Does this seems right ?


That all sounds fine by me.
