Title:
  gnome-appearance-properties only displays 2 themes in a row

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  If you open up gnome-appearance-properties to change your desktop
  theme you'll see that there are 2 items displayed per row while there
  is almost space enough to add a 3rd item. This looks a little odd and
  makes it harder to select a theme because you have to scroll more to
  see all the available themes.

  If the default/minimum size of the window is enlarged by a bit, then
  this problem would be solved. Only problem is that different themes
  have different values for the width of the border and that influences
  the size of the canvas with the themes.

  With the default Ubuntu theme (has wide borders) the window should be
  14 pixels wider. With something like Elementary theme it would only
  take 3 because the border size is zero or one.

  This problem could be seen as a paper cut because almost every user
  will encounter this. To fix this could give a better impression/user
  experience and my guess is that it shouldn't be that hard to
  fix/modify/test.

  Attached is an image with a comparison of both default theme and
  elementary theme.

  As a side note: this 'problem' exists for a long time, I think already
  in Dapper. That's about when I started using Linux/Ubuntu. Now using
  Maverick.
