From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: When you try to drag and drop a folder onto the theme dialogue to install, the folder being dragged is deleted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.grab a theme tar and extract it 2.open the theme program from start here>preferences 3.drag the extracted folder into the installed theme window Actual Results: the theme manager displays the file install dialogue, the folder is removed from the system. Locate and find -name will not find the name of the folder anywhere (just checking to see if it was moved and not deleted). Expected Results: The theme should be moved/installed to the proper directory and the theme name should show up in the installed themes window. Additional info: tried installing the Amadeus and Aqua themes obtained from sunshineinabag.co.uk/metacity/
I can't duplicate the theme disappearing at all. Can you take a look in ~/.themes to see if it actually installed it? Note that the Amadeus theme isn't a valid theme currently, as the theme format has changed.
After logging out/logging in, I feel like an idiot. The themes are now listed and a locate and find -name both list the folders in ~/.themes. Why did it take logging out/in to get these to show up? I have no idea. Sorry. I would still like to know why it looked that way, but being that you can't dupe it, I know how it is.
OK, closing for now. We'll keep an eye out for further reports.
