Imlib preferences also affect the settings in E.  

This is a separate issue.

I want E to cache.  But I do not want every random GNOME application
to keep on their cache pixmaps unless there is any need for it
(gtk-themes).

In GNOME code we do not even make use of the cache, so there is no
point in forcing our applications to waste memory if a clean solution
is possible (I sent you a patch, and I am only waiting for you to
acknowledge it).
