Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gconf
After upgrading to Maverick, ~/.gconf/ gets corrupted every time I log
out. The the symptom is that gtk shows the gtk default theme (ugly 1990s
gray) and the theme can't be changed. Also, the text anti-aliasing
setting revert to defaults. (The symptoms are the same as in bug 584731
but the trigger of the bug is different.)
If I log out, log in via ssh and replace ~/.gconf/ from a backup made
under Lucid prior to upgrading, the next graphical login works normally.
~/.gconf/ matches the backup immediately after login.
After logout, only timestamps within the XML files have changed (AFAICT
from the diff) and an item ~/.gconf/apps/update-notifier has appeared.
Attaching the diff between the backup and ~/.gconf/ after logout.
