The ThreadWeaver solution is possible, but I am not sure it is 
necessary, as the application can call theme->load() afterwards. It 
looks like a bit of overengineering to me.
The CRC suggestion is ok, but it is not really appropriate for user 
contributed themesimo. We want to let people with no programming skills 
produce themes by usually simply modifying a .desktop file and pointing 
it to a different .svg. It has to be as easy as possible, and some 
authors will have trouble understanding and producing the crc value.
