True.  For this release the WinUX theme is optional since it's
experimental as we previously discussed.

I informed Fred and the list that I believe this bug to be in Gorm.
It shouldn't effect our ability to do a GUI release at this time.

I agree that this should be investigated.  I'm wondering if this was
working in the previous release.  If so, then it's a regression and we
should fix it before the release is made.  If not, then we'll have to
decide whether to hold the release in order to fix it.
