Title:
  Drag-and-drop theme from web page fails

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Hardy:
  Won't Fix

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

  http://www.arsgeek.org/2008/05/31/six-annoyances-in-hardy-heron-
  ubuntu/ reports that it is no longer possible to drag-and-drop themes
  from a web page into System -> Preferences -> Appearance (Theme tab),
  as of Hardy.

  This appears to be because theme_drag_data_received_cb does
  g_file_get_path on a GFile constructed on the dragged-and-dropped URI,
  which only returns non-NULL on local files. Something would need to
  arrange to actually download the theme if it isn't local.
