-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 I had a UI theme set for Pidgin which inexplicably disappeared during the
 2.5.4 install.  After triple checking every option in the entire
 application and all plugins, I finally discovered the GTK "Theme Selector"
 application on the Start Menu 30 minutes later.

 By any usability standard, this is a user interface nightmare.  Could we
 at least integrate a link into the Pidgin menus titled "Themes..." that
 calls the GTK Theme Selector?  Seems simple to do and would go a long ways
 towards increasing the usability of themes.

 Best case scenario would be to have a real-time theme selector or at least
 a preview, because right now you have to blindly change a theme in GTK
 Theme Selector, close it, and restart the program just to find out the
 theme isn't what you like, etc.
