My guess is that it's our good friend prefix.  Check to see if this
directory exists:

/usr/local/share/themes/Industrial

If so, then it was installed in /usr/local.  On Fedora, all the GNOME
stuff is installed in /usr, so you have to adjust your path accordingly
when you run configure.  Basically, for any GNOME software, the standard
procedure for you will be:

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
