Does it need the $theme_name in the function call? Doesn't look like it gets used in the function...

Hi vodou,

Not sure why the system didn't notify me of your comment.

$theme_name is passed to, though not used in my particular hook function, so I suppose I could have left it out. Not sure whether that would have raised a PHP notice.
