That sounds awfully similar to how we removed applets. It might be a
good piece of code to have in gnome-settings-daemon anyway. If it can't
find the theme it's looking for, it loads the default theme and gives
you a nice warning telling you that it couldn't load the theme you
wanted, and where you might like to download it from.
