Let me give you a small exmaple, wonce upon a time some gnome people decided 
that we needed a better naming schema for icons and created such a thing un 
der the fredesktop flag, along side they decided to create a icon theme in 
fredesktop to kill all other themes one for all....
KDE decided to use the same naming scheame but decided to do their hown theme, 
you know becouse we are difrent an all...and the fredesktop theme was in 
reality the gnome designers under a difrent unbrela...

so a few years passed  and the kde theme is by far way way more complete than 
the fredesktop theme.... and some users in gnome were actualy using it..... 
soo ..... they decided.... we crete a new subset of icons that are the same as 
the old ones and name them gtk-foo plus we will make gtk crach if gtk-foo is 
not there, funy stuf realy funny stuf.
