By default .icons and .themes for the root directory symlink to
/usr/share/themes/caution/ and /usr/share/icons/caution/ ?

Anyone that _actually_ wants to change the theme for their root user
will deal fine with this and fix it as required, I would say.

Worse option, use the fact that a theme is loaded first from  the
.themes directory and then from /usr/share/themes.

Any of them viable?
