Apart the "current icon theme rocks" motivation (I agree), widgets,
windows and icons theme should be orthogonal: when I choose to change
the widgets appearance, _only_ the widget appearance should change.

GTK+ >= 2.4 supports stock icons management via icon theme. I hope theme
maker/packager will stop to provide gtk stock icons via gtkrc. This is
bad.
