I have a small comment about the additional icon themes. What about 
making icon themes for normal people, like Bobby who is ten years old 
and that is facinated by space and would like to become a austronaut 
when he grows up, or George who is 35 years old and like football?
Here is Everaldos redskins set to illustrate what I mean:

A theme could then consist of 4-5 of these special icons, but in the 
same style as the regular theme, to not look out of place.
Only computer/art nerds worry about if the icon theme has a tilted 
folder, some extra gloss or whatever.
