Title:
  Switching between themes in gnome-appearance-properties results in
  colors getting stuck

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  Expired
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome

  Sometimes changing themes in gnome-appearance-properties does not
  change all the theme colors.

  I first noticed this when changing between themes too quickly.  The
  title bar color would get stuck. and if I changed themes back and
  forth slowly it would usually fix it and go back to default for that
  theme.

  Then it got stuck more persistently, and I figured out I had to change
  to Crux and then back in order to get the color unstuck.

  Now it's just stuck, and nothing I do can change the title bar color
  from orange.  I tried:

  * Changing themes a lot.  All themes have orange title bar even though selection color is different, 
  * Changing colors in color tab
  * Changing window borders in Window border tab (some window borders ignore Gnome colors, but this doesn't count)
  * Changing GTK engines
  * Log out
  * Reboot
  * Deleting ~/.gnome2/session

  The only thing I can definitely say gets stuck is the title bar color.
  I think I have seen other colors get stuck, too, but not sure.

  Right now, if I change to a theme and then quickly change to the Gray
  theme before it gets a chance to finish theming, the Gray theme will
  have the other theme's default title bar color 1/2 of the time.  This
  should not happen.  If I change to Darklooks and then quickly to Gray,
  the Gray title bar will be black.  If I change to Crux and then
  quickly to Gray, the Gray title bar will be purple.

  If I switch to Compiz, it uses the correct colors for each theme, but
  when I switch back to non-Compiz it's still stuck at orange for every
  theme except the ones like Ubuntu Studio that override colors.

  I ran from command line and see no errors.
