Hi,

with
   metacity-setup-0.6-3mdk
and
   metacity-2.4.0-2mdk
it's not possible to change the theme.

I have Metacity themes installed under $HOME/.metacity/themes.
If I start metacity-setup those themes are all in the listbox.
If I press 'Go to theme folder' Nautilus opens the above directory.
But if I actually choose a theme all I get are warnings like this
in $HOME/.xsession-errors:

Window manager warning: Failed to read theme from file 
/usr/share/themes/metamile-marker/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml: 
Failed to open file 
'/usr/share/themes/metamile-marker/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml': 
No such file or directory
Window manager warning: Failed to load theme "metamile-marker": Failed 
to open file 
'/usr/share/themes/metamile-marker/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml': 
No such file or directory


It seems Metacity looks under /usr/share/themes/ for it's themes
and cannot see those under $HOME/.metacity/themes.

The same happens if I change the theme with gconf-editor instead of 
metacity-setup.

Installing a new theme with metacity-setup fails too: after choosing 
the theme and pressing 'install' the metacity-setup just hangs and
responds nomore.

I can't remember when I tried Cooker's metacity(-setup) the last time 
but theme switching and installing worked then.

Cheers,
Andreas
