If I remember correctly, the issue was that I wanted the program to
automatically go into the theme determined by LANG unless told
otherwise.  Until 2008, tuxtype didn't use standard gettext or
locales, and when we switched to GNU gettext, I inactivated the old
theme-saving function.  However, nothing further has gotten done on
this point until now.

So I don't think there is any harm in just resuming the old behavior
for now.  I would still like to eventually have tuxtype look at both
the system locale and the saved theme, and if they are different to
ask the user which is desired (perhaps with a "don't ask me again"
checkbox).

So I'd suggest going ahead and committing the file where that function
is uncommented.

Thanks,

David
