I'd like to add that I can never get gnome-settings-daemon to start and stay running for more than 5 seconds, UNLESS i take the following actions, in which case it applies the themes properly and responds to theme changes and generally works just fine:
1. start 'strace gnome-settings-daemon' in a window 2. wait until the terminal appears to hang in the middle of the output 3. switch to a virtual console (ALT+F1) and login 4. pkill -9 strace 5. switch back to X - everything is fine! This works about 95% of the time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/797947 Title: gnome-settings-daemon crashes frequently with X protocol error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/797947/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
