To follow up on this I have done some quick refactoring of
recipes/xfce-base/xfwm4-themes_4.6.0.bb and published the results to my tree
at
http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openembedded.git;a=shortlog;
h=op.openembedded.dev (Your already familiar with the OP trees so I assume
you will have no issues cherry picking off the commit).

The package now packs up all 80+ :-o XFWM4 extra themes correctly and also
creates a xfwm4-themes meta package that depends on all the themes. 

This means that you can now add any one of the 80 odd themes to your image
explicitly or (better) just add xfwm4-themes to your image to have it drag
in every extra theme that is not part of the xfwm4 core package.

If you could test this and report back I would appreciate it, assuming all
looks ok I'll request this patch is pushed into OE mainline.

Regards,

John
