--- Comment #23 from Mikhail Zolotukhin <zom...@protonmail.com> ---
It's impossible to fix keeping the existing functionality, i.e. changing the
settings of the GTK apps without restarting them, using xsettingsd. More over
GTK2 is deprecated, I do not want to sacrifice the UX and features to support
the rare use case, where the themes for GTK applications depend on the
framework version, and what's even more, where one version is too old and still
used by 1-2 applications (Audacity (via wxWidgets) and GIMP), that still for
some reason cannot port themselves to the newer version of the framework they
are using during all these years (9 years since GTK3 release, I think).

Regarding the previews: GTK2 one uses a hack: it stops xsettingsd before
launching and starts it after closing the preview. This cannot be used for
applications, that stay open during a long period of time, because this
behavior breaks "on the fly settings changing" feature.
