Yes, but against gnome-control-center. A theme installer that refuses to
work unless you already have themes installed seem kind of bone-headed
to me. 

(no offense intended! Of course, this is upstream's responsibility)

If gnome-theme-manager can't find an index.theme anywhere in
/usr/share/themes/*/, it should pick up the current Gtk/Metacity/Icon
setting and call them "Current Theme" or so, giving you the chance to
edit, rename or save it. (This is IIRC what the Windoze theme manager
does).

And *really* it shouldn't but instead ship with a "Default" metatheme
included. Else you see _only_ accessability themes the first time you
launch the theme manager.

Currently there is no "Default" theme in the gnome-themes package. There
definitely has to be one, providing the user an easy way to revert
everything to default settings _without_ having to visit "Details"

Thanks,

Johannes
