the design allows for it.. on a whacge.. every widget must be called to
do a theme_exit, then call the theme's bglobal exit, then call the
theme's global inti , then call the theme init and then do a theme_init
for each widget, and thne do a redraw of all widgets - I havent done
this code yet... and mightn't for a while - but the design allows this.

ALL drawing code is outside of gtk (currently i have only moved butotn
drawing code out). the theme contains all the code to do this - so gtk
doesn't have any drawing code anymore. thsi makes gtkbuton about
400 lines shorter- and makes it cleaner. the theme library contains the
drawing code - if no theme is specified the default theme library is
loaded to do the drawing - which loosk just like what you have now.

->  Looks excellent, can't wait for the code release.
