Of course you're right, I more thought of load default style => unload then 
changed and load new one (without restart). Of course it's not a thing which 
should be on any TODO-list, but I just thought of it.

Besides rep's tar-file-handler isn't good enough for this theme ... so sawfish
will install the .tar.gz ('cause it's way easier to handle it in Makefile), but 
make will afterwards uncompress (+ rm the .tar.gz). That means Sawfish does 
start up much faster than it did with DarkTab previously (StyleTab took almost 
30sek to load as .tar.gz).

On weekend I'll retry with tar/bz2, tar/lzma and tar/xz (though the latter two 
aren't good choices, as not everyone got them (especially XZ (aka LZMA2)))
