Bug#590340: mutter: requires gnome-themes to start (Could not find a theme!)

[Jonathan Nieder]

Package: mutter
Version: 2.31.5-1

Hi Gustavo et al,

Trying to start mutter (directly or through gnome-shell) errors out
and returns me to command line:

 $ cat ~/.xsession
 xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults
 exec mutter
 $ >~/.xsession-errors
 $ startx
 [...]
 $ cat ~/.xsession-errors
 Xsession: X session started for jrn at Mon Jul 26 00:43:17 CDT 2010
 Window manager warning: 0 stored in GConf key /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces is out of range 1 to 36
 Window manager warning: Failed to load theme "(null)": Failed to find a valid file for theme (null)
 
 Window manager warning: Failed to load theme "Simple": Failed to find a valid file for theme Simple
 
 Window manager warning: Failed to load theme "Default": Failed to find a valid file for theme Default
 
 Window manager warning: Failed to load theme "Raleigh": Failed to find a valid file for theme Raleigh
 
 Window manager warning: Failed to load theme "Emacs": Failed to find a valid file for theme Emacs
 
 Window manager error: Could not find a theme! Be sure /usr/share/themes exists and contains the usual themes.

Installing gnome-themes is enough to get mutter to start up (though
all I get is a white screen; will investigate that separately).
Perhaps the dependency of mutter on gnome-themes should be a Recommends
or even a Depends?

Thanks for packaging our future :)
