Small update: it seems the bug affects me if I select a theme other than the default Ambiance. If I log on into my session with the ambiance theme I can switch to a different theme and it loads with no problems. Once I reset or log out however, next time I log back in the but reappears :( -- 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
[Bug 649809] Re: Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly
Gentlemen, I bring great news! It seems the problem we are facing has to do with the fact that your desktop starts before gnome-settings-daemon does (the timing is off). By following the tips on this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594010&highlight=GTK+theme I managed to fix my problem by simply running this command: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-settings-daemon See the thread for details. Hopes this solves the problem for everyone. Not sure if because I installed ubuntu on a solid state drive is the root cause for this timing issue. -- 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

Guys, I must admit I jumped the gun a bit with my solution on #54. That is not the real fix. To tell if your problem is the race condition I mentioned run the following 2 commands: killall -9 gnome-settings-daemon gnome-settings-daemon At this point, your theme should be applied properly. Nautilus however should not be playing nice and still showing the ugly gray theme. Run these command, it will "reset" nautilus: rm -vr ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus && killall nautilus After this, your theme should be fully operational :) If somebody could enlighten us on what exactly is causing the problem it would be great. -- 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

@Henning I must concur as well. I faced the same problem even with the nouveau drivers. So I don't feel its related to the nvidia drivers as well. I did install ubuntu on a SSD under ext3 as well. -- 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
