** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu Hardy) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252885 Title: Drag-and-drop theme from web page fails Status in GNOME Control Center: Fix Released Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Hardy: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center http://www.arsgeek.org/2008/05/31/six-annoyances-in-hardy-heron- ubuntu/ reports that it is no longer possible to drag-and-drop themes from a web page into System -> Preferences -> Appearance (Theme tab), as of Hardy. This appears to be because theme_drag_data_received_cb does g_file_get_path on a GFile constructed on the dragged-and-dropped URI, which only returns non-NULL on local files. Something would need to arrange to actually download the theme if it isn't local.
