Yes it seems that the luthien colors are similar to cde colors.
However, it does not seem to me that this is a critical problems.
I've no time to look at this now, but maybe in the future ...

Ok, so Jos can do the cde modules? On the other hands my current
project is to finish the "themes center GUI", but this can take
some time because I am really busy with my work.

My machine is not standard too (RH 5.1 and a lot of hands modification).
I will upgrade to a RH 6.2, a Mandrake 7.x or to a debian 2.2 soon (If
I am able to choose one :). However, there are surley problems with
building a rpm package for fvwm, but I do not see big problems with
fvwm-themes (but the --enable-gnome-icons and the packages to be required).
Since, I know nothing on building rpm I cannot say more here, but I am
ready for making test!
