I don't understand why you would even make it clear there is a 
difference. When I think theme, I think display or appearance. So if the 
window manager theme (sawfish/metacity) and the gtk theme can be wrapped 
together into one file format people can make 1 theme for gnome. Meaning 
that window borders etc etc all that would be included; It simplifies alot.
