Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
Hello,
I'm reporting a bug here that happens in my VirtualBox installation of
Natty since an early date in the releasy cycle.
It occurs permanently on a classic gnome session:
- I type my login password, the desktop appears and looks normal - for the
first seconds
- then, usually 20-30 seconds after login, the selected GTK theme (Ambiance by
current default) and icon theme (Humanity) disappear and the desktop and
programs use the fallback Raleigh(?) GTK theme and the fallback icon theme (see
screenshot below). Custom settings of font type/size are also not respected.
However the correct metacity/compiz theme stays in use.
- The gnome-settings-daemon process seems to be responsible, as it is
completely unresponsive at this state. It doesn't respond to SIGTERM, only
SIGKILL (kill -9) can terminate it.
- If I manually restart gnome-settings-daemon it works (in most cases?).
Further observations I made about this issue:
- It happens all the time on a classic gnome session, regarding Unity I have
seen it in the past to but on the last logins it worked with Unity running.
- It is independent of the video driver, regardless if I choose Vesa or Vboxdrv
(for hardware accelaration).
- Settings up a fresh user account does NOT help!
- I once or twice saw this on a non-virtual real hardware installation, but
that was some time ago (before Alpha 2 I think) and didn't happen again since
then.
If I can provide any further informations for debugging, please let me
know.
Kind regards,
Jan
