I didn't *think* so either, but OTOH AIUI GTK has a compiled-in default
theme.   Can "runtime" be added to the book, just in the interests of
clarity for newbies, and some of the rest of us?

In the interest of clarity and consistency, I'm thinking it would be
good to be able to separate themes, thinking of /usr/local/share, but I
don't know where I can configure GTK 2&3 where to look for icons.
Symlinks could be a headache.
