Well, if you change from say highcontrast to lowcontrastlargeprint you
already effectively get a frame chanmge throw in as they all get
resized/repainted. If you have nautilus set to 'gnome' theme and do the
same the efefct is more or less the same as a metatheme change might be.
This doesn't "feel" too slow, esp as its visible that everything is
repainting itself, but I suppose its subjective...
