Hi:

The actual requirement for accessibility with regard to theming is that
apps must use "system" settings; this means that the stylesheets 
(or at least one variant stylesheet) must "track" the system
settings (in our case, i.e. gtk+ settings).

So just providing a selection of "accessible" stylesheets is not
really a satisfactory solution w.r.t. our requirements.

This is a PITA I know, but what is needed is a stylesheet or
stylesheet selection that somehow tracks the "system" (i.e. gtk+)
theme.
