Hi What I've observed is that "by default" (after logging and when theme is dropped) theme settings are not changing "one the fly", but when I kill gnome-settings-daemon and start it again with: : gnome-settings-daemon --debug --no-daemon then everything works as expected, theme is restored immediately and it changes on-the-fly while selecting different ones.
from log, after theme was dropped: gdm-binary[922]: WARNING: Unable to find users: no seat-id found gdm-simple-greeter[1042]: Gtk-WARNING: /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.24.4/gtk/gtkwidget.c:5687: widget not within a GtkWindow gdm-simple-greeter[1042]: WARNING: Unable to load CK history: no seat-id found gdm-session-worker[1043]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_value_get_boolean: assertion `G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOOLEAN (value)' failed It's 11.04 beta2 32bit, downloaded today, updates applied, inside VM, vesafb. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728803 Title: Ubuntu theme switches from partially broken to gnome default on VirtualBox guest -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
