Yes, English is a special case (no po/pot files), the files are just 
copied when you type e.g. 
    'make html-en'
or
     'make xml-en'.

I think you are right. But IMO it's much more important which OS and 
(under Linux) which desktop manager is used.
IMHO we should use distribution-independent (default) themes - e.g. 
Gnome's default theme rather than Ubuntu's.

I wonder if we won't get a copyright problem if the images are 
replaced... And even if not, shouldn't we show respect for the 
original author?
