When I try to change the theme I get the following message: "The default theme schemas could not be found on your system. This means that you probably don't have metacity installed, or that your gconf is configured incorrectly." As a result it will not let me change to another theme. Metacity is installed and running. Where do I need to go now? Okay it looks like the update I did a couple of weeks ago included gnome-desktop-data_2.14.1.1-1_all.deb. Is it correct to assume the icons included in that package should include the standard icons used in the system? It looks like testing and unstable are at the same version. Did anyone else have this problem? The error messages that I get when logging into gnome refer to icons that are missing from that package. Thanks, Jim I have the same problem, and i fixed running gnome-settings-daemon. i hope it works for you. -- Victor Gatica H.User ##269907 counter.li.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Always Share Your Knowledge. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I have also tried creating a new user and also have the same problem with the icons under Gnome. Basically it looks like some of the icons were removed during a recent update.

Re: Icons missing in Etch
I had a problem with the Evolution icons not appearing because I was running KDE. I am using etch. I am now running gnome-settings-daemon and I can see my Evolution icons. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
