Have just re-installed a fresh copy of 10.10 up-to-date as of today. The bug still effects me. After applying Kenneth's fix (see comment #68) all is working well.
I've done a little digging around, and it seems there is no elegant way to get it working. I can't find an elegant way to get /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop to load after everything else. The following doesn't enable one to choose which applications upon login to load in serial (or have requisite apps loaded beforehand): http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html I did notice a symlink in /etc/xdg/autostart/nvidia-autostart.desktop that links with /etc/alternatives/nvidia-autostart.desktop which in-turn links with /usr/share/nvidia-current/nvidia-autostart.desktop (see attached) Which essentially has: Exec=sh -c '/usr/bin/nvidia-settings --load-config-only' I deleted the link /etc/xdg/autostart/nvidia-autostart.desktop to see if it made any difference. It turns out it seems to make no difference at all if gnome-settings-daemon.desktop is configured to:- * not start at all - get ugly theme * start immediately (default setting) - get ugly theme * start after 1 or 2 seconds (which is Kenneth's fix) - theme works nicely I hope there's an elegant fix for all this, so it can be sent out to patch other existing maverick users. -- 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
