Description Sebastien Bacher 2008-07-29 15:09:10 UTC 
the bug has been opened on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/252885

"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."
