You have been subscribed to a public bug: 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-appearance- settings, and does not permit the user to install the theme again. This affects Jaunty, but has also affected Intrepid, Hardy, and possibly even further back as well. ** Affects: gnome-desktop Importance: Unknown Status: New ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed ** Affects: fedora Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Installation for theme "name_of_the_theme" failed.
