Error with Vista Theme

[joshua odell]

Hello

In the new release (2009.3.1314.35) setting the default theme to Vista 

StyleManager.ApplicationTheme = new VistaTheme();

I am getting the following error when the window loads.

System.NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code

All the other themes are working properly, only the Vista theme is not working.

I can supply the xaml taht I'm using if necessary, but I'm not doing any styling at all, just taking the stylemanager's theme.
