A big +1 (as a customer/sysadmin/software compiler)

If not already planned, can /usr/lib/gnome-private copies of libraries also
search the main system GTK installation for theme files and engines so that,
for instance, Firefox 3.5 or other programs linking against
/usr/lib/gnome-private GTK also are able to use the same system themes (such
as JDS Blueprint)?
