The Adwaita theme has stopped being a proper "metacity" theme. This
means that in the cinnamon theme chooser, if no theme is installed, when
the user clicks to change the theme, they get an empty list, which is
quite confusing UX.
Further on, if there are other themes installed, the user is able to
switch to one of those themes but then they can't switch back to the
default Adwaita theme (it disappears from the list). This is even worse
UX, the user can't switch back to the default theme unless they start
tinkering with things like dconf-editor.
Muffin internally calls the default theme "Default", it's the old
Adwaita theme, which is shipped in /usr/share/muffin/theme/. The
easiest solution to this issue is to rename all usage of "Adwaita" -in
what relates to the window manager- to "Default".
This implies 3 changes:
1) Change the name of the shipped thumbnail from Adwaita.png to
Default.png
2) Change cs_themes.py to always include a "Default" entry.
3) Change the schema so that the default theme is called Default.
Changes 1 and 2 need to be done in cinnamon-common, change 3 needs to be
done in cinnamon-desktop-data.
