Now, the question is when this function will be called. It should be
called after colors@ and before buttons@. The simplest solution is to call
this function in buttons@ component, but this solution seems strange.
Another solution is to define a new component property "start" or similar,
to start the specified function(s) immediately after all components which
define this function (in our case, colors and colors-decor) are read.
Can this feature be useful in other places, like settings?

We already have Mech, so there are 3 themes of this type, and I hope
this is not the last theme of Kristian, so we should support this type.

Another topic. What do we do with fonts for modules? Olivier, do you want
to work on this?

P.S. My info is, the problems with fvwm.org is due to hurricane in Texas,
they in the univercity work to fix all electricity and water problems.
