Hi Jeremy,

I've worked a little on gtk-theme-config after seeing the Debian bug for
the first time (plus it's actually utterly broken with modern Gtk+3
versions) and to be honest I don't see how it could work with the way
themes are set up these days with sass and resource files. (E.g. changing
the selected-bg-color, which was one of the most prominent features, is
practically impossible to "get right"/consistent results with multiple
themes.)

So we will likely drop it from Xubuntu 18.04 and it will become deprecated.
I guess Debian should drop it too, can't imagine anyone still uses it for
anything (only the Gtk2 parts still work ok).

Cheers
Simon
