Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
Themes with ampersands (the & sign) do not show up in the Theme tab of
Appearance Preferences.
Using Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Right click your desktop, click on Change Desktop Background.
2. Go to the Theme tab.
3. Modify a theme so you can save it.
4. Save it with a name like "Test&Theme" (without quotes).
5. There's no new entry in the list of themes, but the file and folder were
created in the ~/.themes/ directory.
I also closed and re-opened the Appearance Preferences dialog, to make sure it
didn't need to be restarted, I copied the folder and renamed both the folder
and file to "Test" (without quotes) and it showed up in the theme list when I
re-opened the Appearance Preferences dialog.
After this I attempted to create a new theme without ampersands, and everything
worked as expected; the theme showed up in the list after entering a name and
no description and clicking Save.
