is there any way to get a default theme entry in the addons manager for xulrunner (MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH)? Sample install.rdf below.

Without a default entry it's impossible for a normal user to revert back to the base theme.  Additionally need to test uninstalling newer themes and making sure that classic/1.0 is the fallback, etc.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create {94084226-8526-44de-9482-F582355EDE4E} folder under xulrunner/extensions
2. create and copy install.rdf from snippet below
3. change targetApplication to your application id in the install.rdf
4. start xulrunner application
Actual Results:  
Chrome Registration error and no entry in addons/themes.

Expected Results:  
No error and a default locked theme entry in addons manager.

The default theme ID must be 972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd

that resolved it for me, but where do I put the icon and preview.png?  Will do some testing to see where/if it will read it in.

Take a look at the contents of any default theme for those images and place them in the same place with the same name.
