Great - a requirements debate ! :-)
I don't quite see why it's asking for bad usability to allow themes to
change arbitrary settings; why is that ? perhaps have some method for
only allowing settings that are publicly / tweakable by control-center
to be changed - good taste would rather dictate that anyway.
Presumably we shouldn't have settings such as 'boolean
make_ui_unusable' anyway though ? :-)
Could you expand on your objection, so Bill can write a comment up ?
Regards,
Michael.
