Yeah, I've noticed the same thing with some of the other themes
recently - I use a Myxer with some custom configs to suit my tastes
and have been diffing the *.xml files between myxer and something like
mythcenter and adding in changes from the official themes to get the
myxer theme working again.

Still a work-in-progress / works-for-me thing,  but I'll be happy to
share a diff patch if there's interest.
