Mostly adding new stuff instead of removing it. e.g. setting the
colors still works.

There are lots of new features, most importantly style properties:

   GtkToolbar::button_relief = none

and also themes are done differently (this is not in CVS yet):
 
   theme = "thinice"

(instead of:
   include "/usr/share/themes/thinice/gtk/gtkrc"
)

Also there are keythemes (not in CVS yet):
 
 keytheme = "Emacs"

And an official view that Themes Should Not Set The Font.
