Description of Problem:
The gnome-theme-manager crashes on it's first menu-based invocation. 
Further invocations, however, will work fine.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a "test" user with an empty home directory
2. Login as "test"
3. Click Applications->Desktop Preferences->Theme

Actual Results:
The theme manager loads, displays itself, but before the user can
interact with it, it crashes.

Expected Results:
Everything except the crash ;)

How often does this happen?
Only the first time the theme manager is run by each user.  To replicate
it, close X, rm -r ~/.*, start X again, and repeat the steps above.

Additional Information:
Running the theme manager from the comman line works; it's only the
menu-based invocation that fails, and then, only on the first attept for
each user.

Debugging Information:

Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/gnome-theme-manager'
