I have the same - fresh install of Gutsy on a Dell Inspiron 8200. My Windows partitions don't get desktop icons, and the desktop theme looks rather old-fashioned.
In my case it started misbehaving after I changed the login screen from the default 'human' to 'happy Gnome with browser' - maybe just coincidence. I never saw the problem with Edgy, and although I only ever ran Feisty on this PC for a day before changing to Gutsy, I never saw the problem there either. -- [gutsy] Gnome settings daemon does randomly not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146946 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
