Why is a restart required ?  Running applications should catch a  
NSUserDefaults notification and GSTheme handles it. From what I have  
observed, the theme change is propagated with a few seconds delay  
(probably related to the time interval at which the defaults are  
polled on disk).

Wouldn't it be easier to create a pixmap theme btw?

This GTK theme is a very good idea and looks great :-) It would be  
very nice to have such a theme bundled with gnustep-gui, so it can  
integrate nicely out of the box with Linux desktop environments such  
as Ubuntu.

Cheers,
Quentin.
