This bug affects me too. It started affecting me yesterday, when I upgraded my Core2 E6600 machine to Core i7 2600K. Ubuntu is installed on an SSD, but the SSD is not new. There was no issue with Core2 + SSD.
I did a clean install (10.10 64-bit) and the issue persists. But unlike many posters here, the fix suggested in comment #68 does not help me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649809 Title: Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
