Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 11.10 amd64
unity-greeter 0.1.1-0ubuntu1
Leaded purely by curiosity, I launched unity-greeter (/usr/sbin/unity-
greeter) from the GNOME terminal while in GNOME 3 fallback mode. This
opened smth. like LightDM login screen in a window and smashed the
desktop UI theme: the top and bottom GNOME panels went grey and the
icons went old-style (but windows title bars' style is not ruined). I
closed that window and killed unity-greeter with Ctrl+C, but that
unpleasant visual effects still remain and cannot be fixed by changing
the theme in gnome-control-center or gnome-tweak-tool. Rebooting has no
effects.
Tried to launch the unity greeter while in GNOME 3 Shell session. After
playing with the window (I tried to scroll the user list), it had the
same effect. One time though the mouse cursor got nailed at the center
of the screen, so I needed to press Ctrl+Alt+Del to open log out dialog.
Unity also can be ruined this way. I tried this in Ubuntu 11.10 (amd64)
LiveCD. unity-greeter is launched the same way and after some window
dragging the theme gets corrupted and gnome-settings-daemon crash error
window appears (I've sent that as bug #876752).
