I hit those bug as well (Core i7, SSD, P55, 8800GTX) -- but I don't think it's related to the nVidia proprietary drivers: Even without those drivers, on first booting after installation, I get grey GNOME default panels.
Also note that everything works fine when I use a jfs partition on the SSD, but doesn't work when I install on an ext3 or ext4 one. -- 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
