Bug 8822 – metacity-setup-0.7.1 doesn't detect themes properly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jonathan Nall 2002-10-06 16:44:10 UTC]

metacity-setup will emerge, but doesn't really detect themes properly. i hacked
on it this morning, and am attaching a new ebuild file and the patch. the
program now recognizes my themes and changes them.

the issue was that metacity-setup was looking for:
<theme_dir>/THEME_NAME/metacity-theme-1.xml

but all of the themes i've installed use the form:
<theme_dir>/THEME_NAME/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml

my patch adds this second path as a valid form and voila! things started
to work.

Great work, thanks. I'm sure Spider is happy on this one, too :) Did you send
the patch to the metacity-setup author, too?

Added this patch and bumped the ebuilds revision. Thanks for the patch and
please send it upstream to the author.

Did you really test it with ppc btw ?

I'll send this to the metacity-setup author. I did test on PPC (and only on PPC).
