that requires a new release of e... so for now tghis says "i'll tell apps to
use icon theme X - but app may or may not listen"

elm will choose to listen based on elm config values. :)

you have to change elm's config settings? is e messing with elm's config here?

you shouldnt have to change elm's config settings here (unless e  offered all
the config options - as opposed to a subset

correct.

well enlightenment seemingly has to do this... then.
