running a cvs build of deer park alpha 2

installed three deer park-compatible themes (orange, phoenity modern, saferfox
expanded), and when using any of these themes, the preferences panel becomes
utterly unusable.

specifically, the entire background, all graphical elements and all text except
for the section headings disappear completely, so that clicking where the
elements should have been has the same effect as clicking outside of the panel
so that it loses focus.

i'm not familiar with the theming code in deer park, but it seems that it's just
assuming that the themes are going to have the correct structure for the
preferences panel layout, and doesn't fall back on the default theme if the code
doesn't match up.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install any third-party, deer park-compatible theme
2.apply it
3.restart deer park
4.open the preferences panel
5.be confused

Actual Results:  
... nothing.  i tried all the other themes i have, then switched back to the
default theme.

Expected Results:  
i suppose it shouldn't have broken the preferences panel.  i can't really see
this as being a "feature."

Themes need to be updated to work with the new preference panel.
