Why compiled in when they're finally loadable?

I like this idea. If the img-folder can be set in xaaes.cnf, you can
create "themes" by putting widgets, gradients and textures in a
sub-folder together with a "theme.cnf" that's simply included in
xaaes.cnf. "theme.cnf" (which of course can be called whatever you want)
can also configure stuff like iconify-arrangement, app_options,
menubar...

To me it's not important to change these things at run-time. It's
perfectly OK to restart XaAES to load a new theme.
