Ok, that will solve it manually.
I still don't understand why Theme classes are _not_ treated like code
classes, though. I don't need to manually include any of the code classes
from collapsablepanel into my app. I list its manifest in the library list
of my app, and I'm done, so far as code classes go. My question here is why
is that library's appearance not automatically included in my app's
appearance by virtue of having included its manifest in my app's library
list. I believe the typical case is that one needs a library's appearance
classes in order to use the library. In the case of collapsablepanel,
without the appearance class, you get nothing resembling a collapsable
panel.
Thanks.
