GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 545335
Drag-and-drop theme from web page fails
Last modified: 2008-07-29 21:10:17 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."
