Package: gnome
Severity: important
Having upgraded my amd64 system from etch to lenny, I tried changing some
appearance options and this is the result:
- gnome-appearance-properties takes 100 % cpu load (one core fully loaded)
and does not load theme previews (big question mark stays there)
- changing two small options ("Glanz" (german) and different foreground
color) resulted in gnome-settings-daemon to take 100 % cpu load, too. This
also occured after rebooting and logging in again (without running anything
in Gnome)
- this also resulted in a "gnome-settings-daemon could not be started"
message when trying to launch the appearance properties
- removed .gconf and .gconfd in home folder -> no longer 100 %
gnome-settings-dameon load, but of course lost all my configuration
- still having 100 % load when launching gnome-appearance-properties,
closing the window does not help, SIGTERM needed.
gnome-appearance-properties output when started from command line:

Please direct me to some usefull steps to resolve that issue. I do not have
the problem with a similar machine (that is running Lenny for one year now,
never having Etch there).

I'm closing this report because a configuration file was clearly bad.
WRT recommending the removal of ~/.gtkrc-2.0, there are valid uses for it, so
that's not a good idea.
Cheers,
Emilio
