OK, I'll reopen it now.

I think we should not bother to comply with anything regarding the gtk
build; it should build, it should work, it should be usable, but I couldn't
care less if the stock icons were derived from a klingon theme (well,
almost). However, consistent with the principle of consistency and least
effort, I also think we shouldn't make the gtk and GNOME build too different
from each other ==> where it isn't too much effort to do it, we should have
the GTK build behave as the GNOME build (I did /not/ say we should build our
own gconf, bonobo or whatever gnome-whizbang du jour emulation layer to care
for the gtk case); conclusion: when the gtk build can be made identical to
the GNOME build without any special casing, the GNOME rules should apply.
