Aurorae is part of KDE since KDE 4.4.x as it is wrote on the aurorae website & merge in fact in kdebase4-workspace package if you're looking after mandriva's package .
You can confirm it locally using :

Code: Select all

urpmf --files aurorae

in your konsole.
The fact is that mandriva does not install any aurorae compatible theme by default but 2 of them are package :

Code: Select all

urpmf --name aurorae
kdeartwork4-aurorae-themes-air-oxygen
kdeartwork4-aurorae-themes-oxygen

You can also directly install aurorae theme from the kwindecoration gui.
Please note that you need to have 3d effects enable to get the fancy effect available.
Also the configuration seems to be (& you're right on that part but it's probably an upstream bug since we don't have any patch
regarding that part) quite simple (when it was not before 4.3 or even in 4.4)
I found a kubuntu user affected also ( cf http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=90299 )

That's all.
