I've also looked into this (I'm sure about two lines of the code I wrote
persist in the current incarnation of gtk-wimp :P), and today I was
thinking about icons.

Typically, real Windows apps don't have icons on buttons.
You can almost disable the button icons with
  gtk-icon-sizes = "gtk-button=1,1"
in the gtk-wimp gtkrc, but there is still that last pixel of the icon
left over.  I'd like to set it to 0,0 but the RC parser verifies both
are greater than zero.  In any case, doing it this way is a hack.

I considered changing the icon theme, but I don't know enough about the
details of icon themes:  can we disable icons on buttons but still allow
them on dialogs and menus?  What would be the best way to approach this?
