It's also, ahem, an accessibility issue (of course).

Such a capplet would be a good place to put
a meta-themer thingy also, since we have an outstanding issue with,
for instance, yelp stylesheets and gtk+ using different
"theming" mechanisms.  A capplet that exposed both in one 
window (optionally linked together) would provide an elegant solution
to this issue.  It could allow the user
to configure both at once, which fulfills the accessibility
requirement that no app go its own way and ignore "system"
theme settings.

Best regards,

Bill
