Unfortunately there are more problems related to gconf. When running gnome-theme-manager I get the following error: The default theme schemas could not be found on your system. This means that you probably don't have metacity installed, or that your gconf is configured incorrectly.
Also I have been affected by #59079 which seems to indicate some more global gconf problems in edgy. -- keybindings not working any more https://launchpad.net/bugs/66825 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
