Bug Description

The new theme switcher in the appearance panel doesn't seem to play nicely with the Univeral Access panel, which has the ability to select high-contrast themes. To reproduce:

1) Go to appearance and select "High contrast inverse"
2) Now go to the Universal Access panel - this still shows "Normal" contrast, which is a lie.
3) Select "High/Inverse" from the "Contrast" combo box - the theme now changes to a different one again entirely, and the new theme is much darker (so which one is meant to be inverse?)
4) Navigate back to Appearance, and the theme switcher now shows that "High contrast Invere large" is selected

Hmmm, it seems that point 2 where the universal access panel says "Normal" actually happens independently of the new theme switcher (ie, if I select any contrast, exit the panel and then reopen it again, it always says "Normal". And the window decorator theme never changes too - I wonder if those are related)

Alternatively, the high contrast themes could be excluded from the new Appearance panel and only be changable from the Universal Access panel.

Mike, do you have time to look into this? Synchronizing the status with the a11y panel or hiding the a11y themes from the theme switcher both seem fine.
