Yeah, me to, especially because metacity theme is already packaged
together with gnome meta theme (only in SRPM and in git). Also, as I the
number of packages installing something into /usr/share/themes/Nodoka is
growing I suppose I should split a nodoka-theme-shared (or
nodoka-theme-base/core or something like that) subpackage from the
nodoka-theme-gnome SRPM (since it's also noarch and I don't want to
create brand new package just to own one folder) and have all the other
nodoka packages require it. Any thoughts?

Also, I initialized the xfwm4-theme-nodoka in git [1] so when you feel
ready, just apply for membership in gitnodoka group and when I grant it,
upload your source code there. Release tarbals go to [2].
