Fix for Ubuntu Theme Change

I am running Ubuntu in VirtualBox. At random times, Gnome decides to switch the Theme from Ambiance to some ugly generic one that is hard on the eyes. Until today, I've been logging out and back in to restore Ambiance. Today I discovered that simply opening the Themes settings sets the theme back to Ambiance: System>>Preferences>>Appearance>>Themes

Restore Eclipse subversion project connection

Using Eclipse-Indigo and Subversive, Eclipse frequently 'forgets' that my project is under SVN control. (The Project explorer lacks the revision numbers, The Team menu is missing most functions). Happens most often after an Eclipse crash or forced restart. Finally found the solution:

1. Right Click Project:
2. Team >> Share Project >> SVN
3. The URL should just show up.
4. 'Something like Keep existing project settings' *Can't reproduce the steps while writing this.
5. Finish

The Subversive functionality should be back.
