[Proposal] Rename KDE Window Decoration Packages

Currently window decoration packages in the AUR are named 'kdedecor-*'.  This naming schema applies to all the KDE window decoration (Kwim titlebar and borders) packages.  The name to me though seems to be ambiguous, 'decor' could describe plasma-themes, icons, any look given to the desktop.  I think because of the current name most of these packages' descriptions have had to state that the package is a window decoration.  I think it would be a good idea to rename these to a more descriptive name.   The current packages:

aur/kdedecor-alphacube                                                   
aur/kdedecor-aurorae                                                     
aur/kdedecor-aurorae-cupertino                                           
aur/kdedecor-blended                                                     
aur/kdedecor-cellophane                                                 
aur/kdedecor-cellophane-themes                                           
aur/kdedecor-clearlooks                                                 
aur/kdedecor-crystal                                                     
aur/kdedecor-crystalgl                                                   
aur/kdedecor-crystal-kde4                                               
aur/kdedecor-cylonminimal                                               
aur/kdedecor-dekorator
aur/kdedecor-dekorator-kde4
aur/kdedecor-dekorator-kde4-svn
aur/kdedecor-fitz
aur/kdedecor-flatknifty
aur/kdedecor-glowglass-lite
aur/kdedecor-humanblue
aur/kdedecor-hypnotistasade
aur/kdedecor-hypnotista-siyah
aur/kdedecor-klearbox
aur/kdedecor-knifty
aur/kdedecor-linstasquared
aur/kdedecor-metal4kde
aur/kdedecor-mytango
aur/kdedecor-nitrogen-kde4
aur/kdedecor-nvidia
aur/kdedecor-opak
aur/kdedecor-porcelain
aur/kdedecor-powder
aur/kdedecor-pureline
aur/kdedecor-reluna
aur/kdedecor-svgdeco
aur/kdedecor-whiteline
aur/kdemod3-kdedecor-crystal

I've been thinking that a more descriptive naming schema would be 'kde-windecor'.  This I think would be descriptive enough without being too long.

What do you guys think?
