Title: Themes with ampersands do not show up in appearance preferences Status in GNOME Control Center: Invalid Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center Themes with ampersands (the & sign) do not show up in the Theme tab of Appearance Preferences. 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. Update: If you have another theme in your ~/.themes/ directory with a name that alphabetically comes before your new theme, your new theme with the ampersand in it will take on that themes name, and you will have two entries with the same name. For example: 1. You only have the theme ABC in your themes directory, and save a theme with the name B&C. 2. You now have two themes named ABC. This does not happen if the only theme before it also has & in the name, then neither theme shows up.
