The second warning you get when starting gnome-settings-daemon from the terminal indicates that you're suffering from bug #389766. I'm not sure if the problems you see in Nautilus are related to this, could you verify this with a work-around for the mentioned bug?
There are two work-arounds: the first is setting the GConf key "/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/gtk-modules/pk-gtk-module" to false in 'gconf-editor', the second is to remove 'packagekit-gnome'. Ubuntu isn't using PackageKit by default, so by removing 'packagekit- gnome' you shouldn't lose desktop functionality. However, that doesn't mean bug #389766 shouldn't get fixed. -- desktop theme inside nautilus is corrupted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516384 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
