Did you actually install the theme engine?  i.e., did you compile it,
and install it, and install it to the correct prefix?  Theme engines
must be installed like software, and can't be installed with the theme
manager capplet.  Using a theme with an uninstalled engine can have
weird effects similar to what you describe.
