Same problem here. i7 920, 8800GTS640
To reproduce: Directly after fresh install wait for the hardware driver popup,
install nvidia-current and reboot: no theme
I also had the problem with the beta/rc which seems to have begun after
the xorg 1.9 update.
And i also seem to suffer from the high sy
I forgot to say Bug #652731 shows that this happens with XFCE too. So
the problem is related to both Gnome and XFCE, which means it can be

I just installed KDE to see what happens when I boot into it. Everything

more or less.
Nautilus still looks bad and the indicator icons still remain as the were.
It does start to hog my CPU though (gnome-settings-daemon) and remains running
on a 100% load.
Killing the process does keep the
Also, I just tried restarting gnome settings daemon and it gave the same
error, but did not change anything on reboot. I tried running it with
sudo, and my desktop theme changed instantly, so maybe try sudo instead
of rebooting if rebooting doesn't work for you.

I have this bug too. I have seen multiple related problems with Core i-7

I have almost the same problem in Xubuntu (Bug #652731) but here it is
"xfsettingd" not running (which means appearance settings cannot be
changed).
However if I boot from the live cd, everything works and xfsettingsd is
running as it should. I use the nvidia non-free driver also, but the bug
