So I setup a fresh install of Arch Linux today with just the base kde and then be::shell and bespin and man is it fast!!! And at start-up I'm only using 360MB of RAM That's pretty awesome on a kde based shell
Anyways thought I would share my findings

Abou the themes just download ones from me our there a few others that have them as well. That's what I do as soon as I installed kubuntu the first boot I installed be::shell
I download and compiled the latest svn of bespin, enabled the kde extras (it just asks do you want to enable these) and it seems to do more than the one i downloaded form the repo
Anyway, I will do as you suggested, and check out your Gallery for Be::Shell theme files
You're a geek!
