After a fresh install of Linux Mint 12 from the DVD, themes are not working properly in Mate. The specific error is:

"This theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme engine 'murrine' is not installed"

I get the same error for different themes / theme engines.

Per glebihan's help in the Linux Mint Help IRC, I followed the instructions at: http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1901

Tried restarting the computer afterwards but the issue persists. We verified that the Linux Mint romeo repository source is enabled and that the murrine-themes and gtk2-engines-murrine packages are installed.

The system is a Lenovo Thinkpad T61p with Linux Mint 12 64-bit.
