Public bug reported:

The command 'metacity-message reload-theme' should reload the present
theme.  However this is not happening.

I am in the process of creating a Metacity v1 theme.  When testing the
theme with 'metacity-theme-viewer' certain features of the theme (any
theme) such as the different images displayed for the different states
of the buttons are not shown.

You must set your window themes to the theme being tested to test such
operations.  This is what 'metacity-message reload-theme' should do.
However, if a change is made to the theme and the metacity-message
command is issued, the changes do not show on the currently loaded
theme.

I must, each and every time manually reload the theme from the desktop
preferences dialog.
