I dislike extending GUI theming to gnustep-base methods … adding a dependency 
on gui in base.
Particularly theming of a method which is already used inside the theming 
engine (a recipe for confusion I think).

How about moving more of the NSImage logic for handling themed images into 
GSTheme, and having NSWorkspace be theme-aware by calling a new GSTheme methods 
rather than the NSBundle methods?
