Description of problem: Claws-mail creates a new directory when I imported a theme into it trough the menu : /home/mrtom/home/mrtom/.claws-mail/themes/TangoClaws-0.3/ having the theme normaly inside /home/mrtom/.claws-mail/themes/TangoClaws-0.3/ does not work. Packages installed : claws-mail-plugins-smime-3.1.0-1.fc8 claws-mail-plugins-bogofilter-3.1.0-4.fc8 claws-mail-3.1.0-4.fc8 claws-mail-plugins-pgp-3.1.0-4.fc8 Just go to http://www.claws-mail.org/themes.php?section=downloads and install a new theme, it will create this strange tree :)
Well to quote from this same page: "Installation Untar the package. Start Claws Mail. Go to /Configuration/Preferences.../Display/Themes Click the 'Install new' button and locate the theme directory. Click 'OK' Alternately they can be installed by root by untarring the package directly into $PREFIX/share/claws-mail/themes/ They will then be available to every user. " claws does exactly what it should. If you don't like this behavior please report the bug with upstream in their bugzilla but from the package side of things everything is working like it should.
You did not understood me... claws creates a new /home/user directory INSIDE my own home directory. Have a look at pwd : [mrtom@annifrid TangoClaws-0.3]$ pwd /home/mrtom/home/mrtom/.claws-mail/themes/TangoClaws-0.3 This IS the place where claws copies the untared theme when I chose it from the claws gui... and I don't think having /home/mrtom/home/mrtom is a exactly what it should do.
Well I cannot reproduce this: /homes/awjb/.claws-mail/themes/TangoClaws-0.3 However is your normal config located in ~/.claws-mail? or do these things also go into a separate directory? What arch are you on?
Yes my normal config is in ~/.claws-mail but claws creates this new new directory just for themes. There is nothing but themes inside this new directory. I renamed my .claws-mail so as to start claws from the beginning and looked if it was a real bug or not and even with a blank ~/.claws-mail it refers to the /home/mrtom/home/mrtom/.claws-mail/themes/ for new themes. I'm running i386.
It's fixed in 3.2.0: 2007-11-22 [wwp] 3.1.0cvs19 * src/prefs_themes.c Yet another misuse of get_rc_dir(), still related to user themes. Completes 3.1.0cvs18. View patchset 2007-11-22 [wwp] 3.1.0cvs18 * src/stock_pixmap.c Fix a misuse of get_rc_dir(), user themes dir was not set properly and some themes might have disappeared from themes list in prefs.

Thanks for the response. As 3.2.0 is already pushed I will close this bug.
