Bug Description

At the moment, when a user installs a gtk+ theme and has not installed the required theme engine, for example the murrine engine, there are no errors, the theme simply does not work.

It would be great if, similar to the codecs prompt asking if the user wishes to install propietary codecs, the user could be prompted to install any requried theme engines from the repositories. If none matching can be found, then the theme should be disabled.

Perhaps this could be integrated with the packagekit work going on.
