Building on it being an SSD/race problem, I decided to add a delay before gnome-settings-daemon would start. The relevant file that I changed was /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-settings-daemon.desktop. I changed the line:
Exec=/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon to this: Exec=bash -c "sleep 2; /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings- daemon" to add a 2 second delay. And after rebooting, the theme is now properly applied. Hope this helps in finding a proper fix. -- 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
