Public bug reported: It happened to me more than once now that the icon set and the panel suddenly changes shortly after startup. The theme then looks like an ambiance but the dialog boxes and buttons look like the theme of the sudo user. I cannot switch back to ambiance by using the appearance properties but I have to log out and log in to fix the problem.
I am attaching my .xsession-errors and a screenshot.
