Sure, as long as all[1] the resources were either open()d when the
user started the program, or linked in as resources into the library
itself then it works fine. You can certainly design an application
that does this correctly, it's just that very few do. A lot of GNOME
apps compile in resources into the binary itself, using GResource, and
this very much helps live updating.
