** Description changed: Ubuntu 11.10 amd64 unity-greeter 0.1.1-0ubuntu1 1) 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 and window backgrounds went grey, the icons went old-style (but window 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. One more unpleasant effect: keyboard layout switching icon has disappeared, so layout switching shortcuts don't work, therfore i need to use setxkbmap. Finally, radically fixed these symptoms by removing the ~/.config/dconf/user file and then reconfiguring the needed desktop options from scratch. 2) 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. - 3) 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). + 3) 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). + It can be just a gnome-settings-daemon bug triggered by unity-greeter, but I'm not sure.
