seamonkey theme preference ignored

[cmsps]

I installed seamonkey via yum onto FC6 and can't get the Modern theme. Any suggestions apart from erasing it and installing the tar from mozilla?

TIA

i've the same problem, when I try to set another theme than classic it will apply after restart but after another restart there is classic theme again

i've discovered that line:

user_pref("general.skins.selectedSkin", "modern/1.0");

is removed from prefs.js file after restart.

only horrible hack helped me:
remove your favourite theme.jar into /usr/lib/seamonkey-1.1.3/chrome as classic.jar and overwrite that file

The problem was that when I first ran Seamonkey (as root to set up the shared files etc) I had a umask of 077 instead of the expected 022. Duh!
