Comment: Well, I now have a working system again. I saw a note on the web that someone had the same problem and that installing gnome-desktop helped them. I didn't have gnome-desktop installed and didn't want to install all of the packages in there so I removed the most unlikely candidates and then installed the list below. Afterwards, my gnome menus and themes started working again. Maybe there's a missing dependency somewhere? Also, running "gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme /apps/metacity/general/theme /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme " outputs Clearlooks Clearlooks Tango -------------------------------------------------- [INSTALL] alacarte [INSTALL] contact-lookup-applet [INSTALL] cupsys-driver-gutenprint [INSTALL] gcalctool [INSTALL] gedit [INSTALL] gimp-python [INSTALL] gnome-app-install [INSTALL] gnome-spell [INSTALL] gnomemeeting [INSTALL] hotkey-setup [INSTALL] libglut3 [INSTALL] serpentine [INSTALL] sound-juicer [INSTALL] ssh-askpass-gnome [INSTALL] totem [INSTALL] xchat-gnome [UPGRADE] gtk2-engines-clearlooks 1:2.7.2-0ubuntu1 -> 1:2.7.3-0ubuntu1 [UPGRADE] gtk2-engines-industrial 1:2.7.2-0ubuntu1 -> 1:2.7.3-0ubuntu1 [UPGRADE] gtk2-engines-mist 1:2.7.2-0ubuntu1 -> 1:2.7.3-0ubuntu1 [UPGRADE] gtk2-engines-smooth 1:2.7.2-0ubuntu1 -> 1:2.7.3-0ubuntu1 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
