Title: Fix for a problem with magento 1.7.0.2 (can't activate the theme)

I had problems with magento 1.7.0.2 (it is a clean installation with a custom frontend theme). The admin theme didn't show up, tried everything but it didn't work.
I did some debug and the only solution I found was modifying the config.xml. Please have a look at it.
