yeah, my conclusion was dodgy. i failed to remember that my murrine
themes (and only my murrine themes) wern't installed globally.

it would be nice if the theme's property window could remind admin users that 
locally installed themes won't apply to admin apps when they select them in the 
theme options.
possibly even give them the option to install them globally. tho this would 
result in files being placed in other places other than ~/ so maybe get the 
admin to test the theme locally then give them the option to turn the theme 
into a .deb which would be installed and easily trackable via the systems 
package management system. (wow, this is sounding more like a specification now)

** Changed in: Ubuntu
Sourcepackagename: murrine => None

** Summary changed:

- murrine themes don't apply to admin apps
+ locally installed themes don't apply to admin apps

** Description changed:

- themes which use the murrine engine don't work under applications such
- as synaptic, which makes these apps revert to a very ugly theme.
+ themes which are installed to ~/ don't apply to applications such as
+ synaptic, which makes these applications revert to a very ugly theme.
