You also commented on my statement about adding images to the
Gallery (You cannot add images to the built-in themes, indicated by
an icon of another color.): "This is not true, you can add images to
any theme." Not on my system. If I try to drag-and-drop into a
built-in theme, the image is rejected. If I use the Properties
dialog for the theme, there is no Files page. Is this different on
your system?

I did some additional investigation on how Leo could have done
this, and I discovered I was wrong in my first analysis. Each one of
the theme folders is contained in its own separate file: a SDG file
(the Draw file format). There are some other files which are
associated with each of these SDG files. Likely, these have to be
modified when adding or removing an image from one of these theme
folders. "My Themes" is designed to accept a new graphic using drag
and drop but the others are not as near as I can tell. Perhaps Leo
can tell us.

this should behave like all operations that are dependant on user
permissions.
As a normal user, you can add new images to the folders that are in
your user directory. "My Themes" is located there, and any new themes
you create, too.
As root or Admin, you can add and create images and folders also in
the share directory, which would then be available as read-only for
all normal users.
Did not test this for Gallery, but this is how it should happen, for
Gallery, AutoTexts, Macros and so on.

And now we know what happened. Thank you very much Uwe for this
information!
