Package: gnome-desktop-environment
Version: 1:2.14.3.6
Severity: normal


Hello,

when the user wants to change a theme he can preview the theme, but then has
to install the theme via the "Install Theme..." button. He is then asked for
the theme file location. Why does he have to input manually, if a preview of
the desired theme was available in the list before?
