This is effecting my machine as well. Brand new (Built Tuesday) with a fresh install of 10.10 64bit. 2 out 5 times the my profile is affected. Another profile which is default in every way has the same problem. I've attached the xsession-error log from my profile.
Also, I have a 32-bit version installed on the 250gb drive which doesn't experience the bug. i7950 12gb ram nVidia 1GB GTS450 (OC'd) WD 1TB HDD @7200rpm WD 250GB HDD @5000???rpm -- is everybody there having the issue using a nvidia card with nvidia binary drivers installed? I have and am having the issue -- how did you install the nvidia drivers? Installed the binary via Ubuntu suggesting it. -- do you get the issue using nouveau? Not when I've used it, but I haven't used it a great deal -- can you change the theme in the gnome-appearance-properties dialog? Yes but only partially. The top panel (my only panel), Nautilis and the desktop context menu remain unchanged. Applications have the theme applied, and context menus are themed within the applicaiton. -- is starting it enough to get your theme used? Most times this will apply the theme to the panel, however Nautilis and the desktop context menu are remain unchanged. Hope this helps? ** Attachment added: "xsession error log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/649809/+attachment/1792387/+files/xsession-errors.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649809 Title: Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
