    As a Follow-up, some of the shared libraries for the themes
    in /usr/share/themes were installed.

    only metal, notif, pixmap, raleigh, and redmond95

    thinice is missing, dont remember what else...

    Not sure what CD they should-be/are on, so I just rm -rf'd the themes
    that weren't working.
