I guess the user will see that it has no effect. Then he _will_ read the documentation. If he sees that it has no effect he is not going to assume the lack of effect is a feature; he is going to assume it is a bug. Worse, there is a good chance he will not read the documentation. Unfortunately, this is the way many people are, even some Emacs users. :-( The user could have legitimate reasons to customize the face, even if he is using GTK. Yes, you are right.
