One fairly common one might be 'secondary highlight'... i.e. the background and foreground colour of text, list items etc. that are highlighted, but not in the focused window. It's been a while since I looked at gtk themes, though, so maybe there's already a style or a convention for that. The other category I can think of would be apps that want to display information in a simple coloured chart or diagram... imagine if we could have a themed version of Baobab's ring chart for high contrast theme users :) Admittedly that's probably a bit of an extreme example; a simpler one would be the little diagram that used to show the page orientation and margins in the Print dialog. We went to some effort to make that themeable and look good in as many themes as possible (including the high/low contrast ones)... looks like it's not used any more, though.
