Bug Description

When opening the appearance properties window (to, say, change the background) my icons are all reset to the default ubuntu-mono ones. This should not happen.

To recreate the issue:
1. use dconf-editor or gnome-tweak-tool to change icon theme.
2. right-click on desktop, select "Change Desktop Background"

A better scenario would be leaving the icon theme as it was set, and showing "Custom" as the theme. Another button would open a dialog to edit, individually, the icon, gtk, and window-border themes.

The design for the theme selection explicitly limited the selection to the 4 themes we show, so I guess we don't want the 'custom' thing you mention, but at least I've fixed the patch in our package to not change the icon theme unless the user really selects one from the combo box.
