Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Modifying a theme to have the same characteristics as "Ambiance" does not automatically select the "Ambiance" theme. Changing from the customised theme to "Ambiance" results in a segfault.

[TEST CASE]
=============
1. Install lucid
2. Open gnome-appearance-properties
3. Select any default theme (except "Ambiance")
4. Select "customize"
5. Change all theme characteristics (Controls, Colours, Window Border, Icons, Pointer) to "Ambiance" defaults

[Current Result]
=============
Theme is not automatically changed to Ambiance. A custom theme is created instead
Upon clicking on the "Ambiance" theme, gnome-appearance-properties crashes

[Expected Result]
=============
If all theme characteristics are changed to "Ambiance" defaults, theme should automatically change to "Ambiance" as it does with all other default themes

[Notes]
=============
See attached screencast for further replication details
