Theme installation works via the DnD method, but we're not recognizing the theme
jar properly.  Can we get a narrower regression window on this please?

InstallTrigger install links work fine too, so this is just the recognition bits.

Not sure if I should open a new bug or not, but I am able to install a theme on
Mac OSX (10.4), but not able to use any of them.  After restarting the browser,
the theme window says that after restarting, the theme will be installed. :/

Has this bug been fixed by all the recent EM checkins?  If so can someone
resolve it?
