**Distro:** Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit
**Version:** git latest

Whenever I try to use any of the themes after installing both `geany` and `geany-themes` from source, nothing happens. After installation, all the themes show up under `View > Editor > Color Schemes` but choosing any of them has no effect. (opening the menu again shows that the theme I chose before is "selected" as far as Geany knows.

This may be related to a recurring issue I've always had with Geany. It seems to be aware (to some extent) of my `.config/geany` directory, but changing things like `filedefs/*` doesn't seem to stick. (I always end up throwing my hands up and using `/usr/local/share/geany` or `/usr/share/geany` instead.

I've tried using `geany -v` and examining `Help > Debug Messages` but neither seems to yield anything useful. If there are further ways to debug, I'm more than happy to try them out.

Thanks!
