The same thing is happening on Windows, only going in the other direction -
set up the ms-windows-engine (wimp) as your theme, and GTK+- programs will
look fairly close to native Win32 programs.

You can always write the code to support this, but remember that you'll
have to write a window manager to make it work - you'd have to take care of
moving, resizing and minimizing/restoring/maximizing windows yourself.
