Description Stu 2004-04-01 21:57:55 UTC 
If you are installing lots of themes (gtk/metacity/icon) each time you install a
new one the file picker dialog starts back at the users home directory. This is
infuriating if you've downloaded your themes to say
/home/user/downloads/themes/gtk as you have to browse to that location each
time. If you repeat it even 4 times to install two gtk and metacity themes its
annoying!

What I would expect it to happen is that when you go into install a new theme it
should remember the last place I install once from.

Moving to gnome-theme-manager. Reproducable in 2.6.x at least.
