I have exactly the same problem, and i'm not on a virtualized machine but instead normal machine: Intel i5 chipset with default drivers, nothing special. Directly after login to my user 'dominik', the theme is how it should be and the following processes run:
$ ps aux | grep sett gdm 2722 0.9 0.3 370176 15072 ? Ssl 10:41 0:00 /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon --gconf-prefix=/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/settings-manager-plugins dominik 2837 3.2 0.3 455344 15108 ? Ssl 10:41 0:00 /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon after some seconds, the theme goes away and now the following processes run: $ ps aux | grep settings dominik 2837 1.3 0.3 407176 15052 ? Ssl 10:41 0:00 /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon OS is Natty fully upgraded. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649809 Title: the session settings manager can try starting before the login screen one exits -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
