I'm just curious, but why?  It's not like people can't get GTK+ themes
themselves quite easily.  Personally, I don't think we should have
themes (for anything) in the tree except for two cases:

#1. The theme is considered part of an upstream package set, fex. if
GNOME or KDE ship with a small set of themes, they should be included
#2. The themes are made by Gentoo

For anything else, let the user download what they want and use it as
they see fit.  There's not much reason to track them in the package
manager.  That being said, I'm not opposed to the themes staying in the
tree, either.  I'm just trying to find out people's motivations for
either keeping them/removing them.
