I'm of the view that it shouldn't be a menu item on any menu. This is for
two reasons:
1) The theme you are using is a preference, and it's an obvious
preference. 99.9% of users (as in, those that want to get work done) will
not switch themes on a regular basis.
2) The Apply Theme menu item is continually used to justify the inclusion
of all sorts of rubbish in the View menu (as in "If Apply Theme's there, X
should be as well.")

It's nothing to do with evangelism as this word is normally used within
the Mozilla community (as in "getting web sites to support Mozilla.")

Then Netscape can implement it in Netscape 6. :-)
