It is required, of course. It is a theme after all ;)

I have a feeling that it would not help the end user to have RUN_DEPENDS
here. In fact, I can imagine that new SLiM users might want to install a
theme first, see if they like it based on the included screenshots, and
then decide to download x11/slim. When it comes to old SLiM users, they
have x11/slim installed anyway.

Hmm, but the more I think about it, the more I feel it is not how we
manage ports. We should at least have a SLIM option defined and then set
SLIM_RUN_DEPENDS. But then who would really use it? Maybe we should just
set RUN_DEPENDS=slim:x11/slim.

Eh.

What do you think, Adam?
