Aaaah, I finally figured it out by moving/renaming directories one-by-one I found my way to ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/interface/ where there was a file using the icons I had chosen last. Contents of this file: <?xml version="1.0"?> <gconf> <entry name="icon_theme" mtime="1162583279" type="string"> <stringvalue>Chameleon-Anthracite-Regular-0.5</stringvalue> </entry> <entry name="gtk_theme" mtime="1162507003" type="string"> <stringvalue>ubuntured.dan-erik.com</stringvalue> </entry> </gconf>
As it turns out.... Chameleon-Anthracite-Regular-0.5 is a mouse cursor theme located in the .icons folder, it is not an icon theme. I remember having a lot of difficulties finding a way to change mouse cursor themes in Dapper, but I don't think they turned up in the theme manager as icon sets. Now it is very easy to recreate the crash: Just choose the mouse cursor theme as an icon theme and everything will go down. I am attaching a tar.gz of the theme that caused me all of these problems. Just extract it in the ~/.icons/ folder.... ** Attachment added: "Chameleon mouse cursor theme" http://librarian.launchpad.net/4961352/Chameleon-Anthracite-Regular-0.5.tar.gz -- Unable to login after gnome-theme-manager crash https://launchpad.net/bugs/69977 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
