Same bug applies for me with a new installed Ubuntu 10.10. Nvidia Gtx 460 and core i7. I can reproduce the behaviour mentioned by Reason (killing and restarting gnome-settings-daemon as root). Changing to the the nouveau driver didn't fix the problem for me. Haven't tried the crappy workaround so far. I have reinstalled Ubuntu at least three times with different configurations without success.
Also I have a parallel Ubuntu installation upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 which does not show the bug. But so far I could not figure out why. So please increase the importance of this Bug and fix it soon :) As logs or other information is required please tell me what you need. -- Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
