System name:		cheshire-cat.mit.edu
Type and version:	Linux 2.6.9-22.0.1.EL on i686 9.4.21

Shell:			/bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager:		{Metacity, Sawfish}

What were you trying to do?
	Trying to change the theme or desktop background

What's wrong:
	The change takes effect for the present login, but logging out and back in results in the relevant setting reverting to its original state.

What should have happened:
	The theme/background change should have stuck. :)

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	The problem occurred when using Sawfish or Metacity. I thought maybe it was related to the known theme issues in Athena 9.4.19/9.4.20, but this still happens in Athena 9.4.21. The problem was initially reported to OLC by gkenney.
