I believe it's actually a race condition with encrypted home folders.
I've rebooted 10 times since and *one* time I had the correct theme.
Does Gnome maybe try to read my config before my home is fully mounted?
What's odd is that I still can't go to Appearances and change it to
Ambiance.
** Summary changed:
- Gnome theme changes from Ambiance to plain default after first reboot, can't
be changed back.
+ Race condition between encrypted-home and Gnome theme (?)
** Description changed:
I just installed Maverick 10.10 AMD64 Desktop. After the first boot
everything looked great.
I then setup my typical environment, which basically includes installing
a bunch of packages. I didn't change any Appearance options at all.
After rebooting, my theme is now a very boring and ugly one (I believe
the Gnome default). I cannot change it back to Ambiance in Appearance
- settings. If I create a new non-admin user, he has Ambiance. If I
- create an admin user, he has the crappy theme.
+ settings. If I create a new user, he has Ambiance. If I login to my
+ user, he has the crappy theme.
+
+ Update: I've had Ambiance load once in 10 reboots, see comment below,
+ the only thing I can think of is that I use encrypted home.
I'd be happy to provide more information or try anything to make my
desktop less ugly.
