Faces inheriting colors from gtk theme

[Jeremy Nickurak]

I've read and observed that emacs24 uses standard gtk colors for the  "region" face.

Is it also supposed to do that for other faces? Or is there a way to get that behavior?

In particular, it would seem natural to define faces as follows:

(cursor ((t (:foreground "theme_selected_fg_color_" :background "theme_selected_bg_color_"))))

(mouse ((t (:foreground "theme_selected_fg_color_" :background "theme_selected_bg_color_"))))

(fringe ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_bg_color_"))))

(border ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_bg_color_"))))

(mode-line ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_bg_color_" :box (:line-width -1 :style released-button)))))

(mode-line-buffer-id ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_bg_color_"))))

(mode-line-inactive ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_bg_color_"))))

(minibuffer-prompt ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_base_color_"))))

(region ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_selected_bg_color_"))))

(secondary-selection ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_selected_bg_color_"))))

(tooltip ((t (:background "theme_tooltip_bg_color_" :foreground "theme_tooltip_fg_color_"))))

(default ((t (:foreground "theme_fg_color_" :background "theme_base_color_")))))

... where the theme_X_colors were derived from the appropriate gtk color scheme property.
