Same problem here. Grey theme at boot. Going into theme preferences will fix the panel, but it will not fix Nautilus or the desktop icons.
I'm using ubuntu 10.10 x64 with an nvidia graphics card (using binary drivers). What is the status of this bug? Can any developer here tell me if you are working on it? This bug is rather infuriating and there doesn't seem to be any progress being made on it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/588155 Title: randomly gnome-settings-daemon fails to start -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
