Another reason not to have them share app data for themes is identification
purposes. Several people I know purposely add a background image to their
32 bit and 64 bit theme-able apps that say, "32-bit" or, "64-bit". This
alows them to instantly know which version of the application they are
using with out having to dig around for an about screen.
