Fix Theme Installation

Author[]

Christopher Bratusek / Michal Jaegermann

Synopsis[]

Fix mxflat theme installation, by installing themes as gzip'ed tarball. (Patch by Michal Jaegermann, update for applying against trunk by me)

Patch testing[]

Copy/paste the patch listed below into some file, eg. TEST.diff.
If you don't have sawfish sources yet, have one, as described get it from GIT repo.
Go into the directory where sawfish sources reside, eg. cd sawfish
Test if the patch applies cleanly with this command:
```
patch -p1 --ignore-whitespace --dry-run < TEST.diff
```
in case of problems try also: -p0 or -p2
If it applies cleanly, then remove the --dry-run from above command and run it again, otherwise ask on the mailing list.
Compile sawfish: ./autogen.sh && make
Install it for testing, but it depends on your linux distribution.
1. It is always better to install sawfish as your distribution package, but it is different for each distribution.
2. So you may try make install, which will install sawifish in /usr/local/share/sawfish/ (if you have write access). But then make sure that you run the correct version and delete it from that directory afterwards, to avoid any conflicts.
