Bug Description

When installing a new theme under Gnome theme manager a strange duplicate theme appears on the "controls" tab. This happens most of the times but not always. I'll upload a screenshot of the theme manager.

It only appears to happen with certain themes, no way to know without actually trying them, the DarkIce theme in the original screen shot does cause this.

1) Yes, it is reproducible, see attachment above.
2) Install the theme above, and you should get two entries for the same theme in the theme manager.
3) I am running 8.04, but I believe it has occurred in previous versions too.

It also happens with metacity themes as I have just discovered.
 If you cannot read the theme it reads 'gaia siberia' and can be downloaded from here: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Gaia+Siberia+Metacity?content=75931
