I agree that a theme needs central control of one Art Director / Agency. One theme needs consistency.
I don't agree that mutliple themes need central control.
I agree that the desktop needs freedom of look. That will be revolutionary in the masses.
I agree that functionality and look need to be in harmony. We need both. We need simplicity and enhancenced control. Simplicity means hiding enhanced control at first sight.
A theme I would define as a set of components for OS, Applications, Launchers, etc. that define the look. Usually a theme has some kind of topic such as milk aqua wind nike microsoft apple mars business engineer glass nasa etc.

The theme should be consistent in OOo, Evolution, Mozilla. Or whatever other combination of applications needed for a productivity desktop.
Menus should be consistent too...
My desktops have been themed to imitate Mac OS for as long as I can remember for the simple reason that I have to switch back and forth between Linux and Mac OS quite often. Having similar looking desktops helps reduce confusion - thus increasing productivity.
As far as I can see it is as simple as that. If you want to migrate a user from Mac OS or Windows to a Linux desktop then theme the desktop to be as close as possible to the OS version she is used to. Later they can be weened when the fear of change has gone.

I fully agree with this strategy!!! Unfortunately the existing Win XP and Mac OS X themes are not yet very similiar.. there is still a gap. We should get people to switch by imitating and then we should get Nike to invest in Nike themes (to get some money into the scene) and build our own themes as we like (I personaly like stuff like milk, keramics, etc.) ;-> M.
