Bug Description
After manually installing a theme, if one were to delete that theme and re-install the same theme after, the following message is produced:
"Installation for theme <theme> failed. Can't move directory over directory"
The reason for this is that the residual theme data in the ~/.themes/ folder is not deleted upon theme deletion through Gnome-appearanc
This affects Jaunty, but has also affected Intrepid, Hardy, and possibly even further back as well.
