I vaguely remember having that problem. IIRC it's because most (all?) of
the themes refer to $CHOICESPATH which is set to ~/Choices etc rather
than the XDG paths, presumably because Choices is obsolete and moving it
would make old apps lose their settings.

I've made a symlink between ~/Choices and ~/.config/rox.sourceforge.net.
Unfortunately there's also some confusion as to whether OroboROX uses
~/.config/OroboROX or ~/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OroboROX. The latter
is preferable IMO, and necessary to work with the symlink fix for
Choices. If you find it tries to use ~/.config/OroboROX instead, I guess
that's also fixable with a symlink, but I appear to have found an
alternative solution which I can't remember!
