"That’s happening because GTK2 cannot read the Theme RC file from “~/.local/share/themes/” location."

In Xubuntu 14.04 I can still load the GTK3 theme, but not the GTK2 theme. Workaround: Load the themes from ~/.themes. Downside: Cluttered home directory. How to reproduce: 1. Download a theme and put in in ~/.themes. 2. Open settings manager and a GTK3 app. (I used gedit.) 3. Apply the downloaded theme. So far everything should work. 4. Move the downloaded theme to ~/.local/share/themes. 5. Apply another theme and reapply the downloaded one. At this point only the GTK2 theme is loaded.
