Bug#218365: gnome-control-center: metacity installed - theme manager still crashes

[Colin Turner <ct@piglets.com>]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.4.0-4
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #218365

Hi Folks,

I have this problem here. It seems to be partially due to the upgrade path, 
and doesn't affect all users (root for example).

I can change the theme using gconf-editor also.

I installed metacity, and I have changed to using it as the default window
manager (for this user too). It still doesn't fix the bug.

I found there was no key under

/apps/metacity/general  - theme

and created it. Still no fix.

CT.
