Bug Description

1. Open System Settings>Appearance
2. Set the theme to HighContrast

What happens
-------------------
The window theme (where the app's title bar, minimize, maximize, and close buttons are when not maximized) doesn't change. Even running unity --replace doesn't change the window theme. It takes logging out and logging back in for the HighContrast window theme to take effect.

gnome-accessibility-themes 3.6.3 includes a new window theme for the HighContrast theme. The current window theme is stored in gsettings org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences

Changing the theme to Ambiance, Radiance, or Adwaita (Adwaita is included in gnome-themes-standard) changes the window theme without delay. It's only HighContrast that isn't working right.

Ubuntu 13.04 is no longer supported. Can you still reproduce this on 12.04 or 14.04 or 14.10?
