I think you seem a bit agitated. There's nothing I said that needs
backing up. Especially nothing "outrageous". I just said that I don't
know too much about style properties that can be put into an gtkrc file.
And where the point is reached where that is better left to some
programs auto-generating them. You decide what goes into xfdesktop, I
fully understand and I would never question that. I guess I made that clear.
Nevertheless, I think there's nothing wrong with having a different
opinion about how certain user-configurable options should be
accessible. But again, that's not my place to decide. A discussion about
it should be allowed.

Yes, that may well be.

Me too. Beer more than ice cream, though.
