Gentlemen, I bring great news! It seems the problem we are facing has to do with the fact that your desktop starts before gnome-settings-daemon does (the timing is off).
By following the tips on this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1594010&highlight=GTK+theme I managed to fix my problem by simply running this command: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-settings-daemon See the thread for details. Hopes this solves the problem for everyone. Not sure if because I installed ubuntu on a solid state drive is the root cause for this timing issue. -- Meerkat (10.10) does not apply theme properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
