There's still a version number BUT ALSO a codename (like redhat picasso ...)
easy to remember.

We should soon add a Theme management to AS : background + sound + look&feel
(and maybe icons, still not decided)

If WM & EL guys mailed us, we could make a "unified" theme mode
Tell them about that ;)

Last thing I suggered (to WM) was making WM & AS config. file compatible, even
if I had to change AS a lot, bare they made an effort too.
Never received any answer.
