Oh, it loads the new themes fine, no problems! There's just this
strange message in my logs when it does, that's all. Apart from that,
you can create, load, edit, save, as many 'themes' as you like.

I'd suggest some more revamping of the man page, if anyone had the time.
With new features, come new routines etc... Some of the examples are
obviously past their 'use-by-date'. But someone is probably already
planning this...no?
