[Bug 60547] user-installed themes do no show up on apps run via gksu et al

[Tolan Blundell]

Public bug reported:

Because the gnome-theme-manager doesn't require root privileges, themes
that are installed through it are only installed for the current user.

This leads to any application requiring root privileges being displayed
in the very ugly default Gnome theme.

As a 'power user' I can launch gnome-theme-manager via sudo from the
shell and install the theme there as well, but a new user will have no
idea that they have to do this, and it's counter-intuitive.

Perhaps apps run via sudo/gksu etc could default to human if the
currently selected theme isn't installed, or perhaps there could be an
'admin theme'. This might have the added advantage of giving a clear
visual clue to which apps are running under admin priv's.
