Hi,
after I've installed some new themes for Gnome 2.6, my gnome-theme-manager suddenly got mad. I mean, I can't see the themes' thumbnails (there's a big "?" instead) and the window is full of graphical bugs.
The only thing I obtained was this (launching it from the console):
what does this mean?
I wanna try out my new themes!!!
Thanks a lot byez

They are both a little broken right now as far as I can tell. My kde icons look all shi**y and so do the gnome icons. There seems to be an upgrade going on and not everything has rolled over yet. I know I got a big gnome update the other night that made my stuff " mad " as well. If you try and apt-get install gnome on sid it gives an error that not all dependecies are available. Have you tried an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade? I am assuming you are using either sarge or sid since it's gnome 2.6. I can say that currently on sid and gnome 2.6 my themes are working and I can go in and select what themes I want. It sounds like your gnome is missing some libs somewhere. Try dist-upgrade and see what it does for you. Just fyi mine also says the same about the attempt to put segment in horiz list twice... my themes still show though.

Yeah, I'm running Debian Sid, but I'd better not to try "apt-get dist-upgrade" to avoid terrible dependencies problems and ugly unstable packages.
I know Gnome 2.6 says there are broken dependencies and missing libs while attempting to download it (due to too much up-to-date packages), so I manually downloaded and installed the requested packages from the official FTP Debian server.
The odd thing is that the first time I launched Gnome (and for a few days afeter that) themes worked fine, no problems at all.
Then, after installing new ones (with the root user in "/usr/share/themes" with the right permissions, so all the system users can use them), the bugs came out!
Please note that if I click randomly inside of the thumbnails area (where annoying graphical bugs rule), I can still select the themes (and they apparently work), but I can't see what I choose (and neither the icons nor the window borders).
Well... I think I'm gonna reinstall the Gnome Theme Manager!

PS: I installed Gnome 2.6 via APT from the "experimental" (not "unstable") package side!

I was going to suggest that myself. I did not understand that you did your upgrade manually so that could have botched something up. What distro are you using? It sounds like woody but I am assuming there. I do not personally suggest mixing the different distro's. You are bound to get a really broken apt eventually. I would say try and find a backport rather than apt-get install gnome/experimental or by doing it your way and installing manually. apt-get.org is a great place to search for such backports. Good luck and let me know what you do to get it fixed up. If I can help anymore just ask away.

Just install the package hicolor-icon-theme-0.5-noarch-1, or whatelse is for your system.
I'm using Slackware, and with the swaret just type swaret -- install hicolor-icon-theme-0.5-noarch-1.
Saludos.
