Bug Description

If Hidden=true in an index.theme file, the theme is listed and selectable in the Unity Tweak user interface, but the theme should not be visible.

TEST #1:

1. Open the Hicolor icon theme index.theme file (/usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme).
2. Notice that index.theme file has "Hidden=true" on the fourth line.
3. Launch Unity Tweak, and navigate to the Icons tab.
4. Notice that the Hicolor icon theme is visible and selectable.

TEST #2:

1. Edit an icon theme file under /usr/share/icons/.
2. Enter Hidden=true in the [Icon Theme] section.
3. Launch Unity Tweak, and navigate to the Icons tab.
3. Notice that the theme is still visible and selectable.

BACKGROUND:

According to "Icon Theme Specification" at Freedesktop.org...

"Hidden - Whether to hide the theme in a theme selection user interface. This is used for things such as fallback-themes that are not supposed to be visible to the user."

This is indeed the case. Thats why we see Dmz-white and Dmz-black mouse cursors in Unity Tweak.
