What preferences dialog are you referring to? The GNOME Control Center?

FWIW; The Control Center itself is not available using GNOME Menu.
However, anything that is part of the Control Center is in the Desktop
Menu. And if you want, run 'gnome-control-center' manually.

Yeah, 'gnome-theme-manager' spits a lot of warnings. No critical ones,
otherwise you wouldn't have seen the Theme Manager at all.

I don't get, which "icon"s you are referring to. The Theme Manager uses
just a few icons in the UI. And a lot of Theme Preview Thumbnails...

What are the Themes you are currently using?

Uhm? Totem does not use xine. So why should it search for it?

Hrm, didn't you just say above, that everything was built just fine?

It is already. As much, as we can.

Those bootstrap/ garballs that are not built automatically are not
needed on all distros and usually can be satisfied by installing the
devel packages of the already installed applications, provided by your
distro.
