I have reported a similar issue (bug 345558) and have only seen it on netbooks with SSD. Are you using SSD when you experience this issue?
After I reported my issue I have had two netbooks with normal harddisks and my issue has never happened with those ones. -- 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/521766 Title: Theme not applied on startup -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
